MY NC30 THE ONGOING SAGA

A few of you may have seen my recent posts about ongoing problems with my nc30. This week after the petrol tank leaking from rust holes and not being able to change gear for 27 miles on the way home, things went from low to to sub zero!! After some soul searching and very strong willpower not to but the sp2 down the road. Ive come to the decision that im going to sort the NC out!! thats the least it deserves. Ive have some money put aside for it. Not a lot but enough!!
So im going to post some pics and want peoples honest views whether i should go for the nc30 RWB scheme or stay with the RC30 Image but obviously get it re-done. Any views on the paint mechanics, exhaust, brakes would be appreciated!!

What is the worry? Get the bike working mechanically and then ride it.. It will never look like a peachy moto as it has a suspect paintjob already.

I am 100% in the mechanincally sound but cosmetically suspect camp...

No point having a good looking turd that doesn't work..you may as well have said moto that looks rough but works...

Keep faith mate you got a classic there. Tidy it up and look after her, get your self a nice Jap exhaust, sp1 brakes and a decent shock and your wonder what all the fuss was about.

I'd spend the money on parts rather than paintwork any day. Is there any damage to it or do you just want to change the look?

now then...I mean that the bellypan does not line up right... 8-)

The RC30 is a great look..but done right. :ninja:

It looks like a nice moto, shame to sack it but a few quid and a bit of work will give you a reliable moto.
