The Motorhead NC30
Hi folks.
I'm new here, i didn't really know of this website until a little while back and back then i was running http://www.nc30ownersclub.co.uk (now deceased as this place exists!).
Anyway. i thought i would post up here about my nc30 project that i've had for the past year or so.
I bought an imported 1990 nc30 off a mate for my other half to ride as i thought it was small enough (in actual size not engine) for her to ride as she is a bit on the short side compared to myself.
The deal was that i would ride it until she passed her bike test and by that time it should be back to it's old glory with new paint and all.
I bought the bike for £530 with 21k/km on the clock and spent around £2k doing it back up as i always wanted proper honda parts, if not better.
I'll give you the then and now(ish) pictures:
some fairing repair
After a wash and a ride out to the middle of nowhere
How the run ended:
Stripping the spray paint off
After the paint and decals were put on:
as you can see, i have a slight fascination with Motorhead.
Mrs has since had no interest in doing her bike test, so the bike stays mine. Currently planning my next nc30 build :D
Still a few things to do to this one, clip on's need painted as does the yoke. Fairing bolts need changing as they are orange (was going to make the bike repsol colours) and need a new end can. thinking of tyga maggot..thought it would fit the motorhead theme...Everything Louder Than Everything Else!

I`ve one like this too . But i ride it only on my CB 1300 , on the NC30 it would look like :"Would you lend me your VFR for a minute?" "O,k ! But i´ve got no Helmet , only this!"

Re: The Motorhead NC30
I seen them in Glasgow (where i'm at) in november there.
Seen them the year before too, only got to go as i was put on the guest list by mikky dee. Told me i had to go because of my motorhead tattoo hehe.
Anyhoo!
If you fancy reading up all about my motorhead bike build i made a page for it on my site and put up all the problems i had (and how many times i changed my mind on the colour scheme!).
