Another 'spare' bike

Cheers Cam

Seeing as its having a daytime MOT, no lights are needed at all, only a working horn. I thought it best to still install a rear brake light.

And as the track bodywork has no holes cut for a stock rear light and its rather annoying to have to disconnect the wires everytime you take the body work off, I've come up with a subtle solution.

Heres the mount for it.


Nc30 plug wired in.


All mounted and plugged in.


For anyone interested, Nc30 wires. Green = GRD, Green/yellow = brake light, Brown = rear light

Today I did do, the pressure switch needed for the rear brake.

I got the engine in, took some doing with only the help of the gf, but its torqued up without any scratches . Started on running all the loom in the correct places and doing lots of little jobs.




Next on the job sheet is to refurb this RVF system

Well the exhaust needs quite a bit of work, but I've made a start.
Its all be cleaned up and the collars that press against the gaskets are the worst bit.


Bought and cut the new stainless steel sleeves (which remove the need for a gasket) to get welded on.


Removed and made some new ss rings to be welded on as the positive stops.


And with the extra ss rod made some hooks so that the front pipes can be sprung on.


Also fitted Rick Olivers earth upgrade kit.

Got bored waiting for shims and exhaust problems so been looking through the spares, and pulled out some maybe usable gogo juice bits.

My old manky nc30 carbs, these worked fine when on the bike (7 years ago ) so with a good clean up will hopefully be good again.


Bought all these next bits ages ago when I had some 'overtime cash'.

Also a set of nc24 carbs with the 'half-moon HRC style' slide set in good condition



HRC modified carb tray


Rick Oliver HRC copy inlets


Also started to make a mesh clamp from an old airbox, still needs alot of tweeking though.


So just needing a RickO HRC needle and jet etc kit now
Have also been working a Nc30 HRC carb guide based from the successful one written by cammo, might be useful to the forum.

If you have nothing planned or obtained for a fly screen for the carbs give this a try

Perfect. Cheers

Ive always wondered where you get exhaust hooks from, i know where to go now

[ant_v4r]

I've just read this thread... 8 months it's been going for!
when do you reckon you'll have it all done by? seeing the progress has intrigued me! haha

[Tim400GB]

Project bikes are never 'done'

[Tim400GB]

Got the new sleeves and spring hooks welded on today.


Need to sort out these offending items now, why honda decided to use steel instead of stainless (like the rest of the system) on the collars is beyond me.


The collars on the front headers are in the same condition.
