NC30 Track Project, Est completion May 2011
Posted: Fri Mar 04, 2011 9:10 pm
Some of you guys may have seen this on PB, which is why it may seem like im talking to myself at times but im actually answering questions people have asked in these first few posts, But i'll post it here also since 400gb gives me alot of inspiration :)
So, My first time on track last year, second session, i binned Trig's (Dads) ZXR on the last lap :eusa_whistle:
Now that the aforementioned 750 is my road bike and i've got two complete NC30's i feel the urge to turn one of these into an easy to fix-lightweight-track tool.
Don't get me wrong, I've got feck all experience on track, but my brief sessions out i loved and i'm constantly accompanying others, and now i've no longer got my restriction on my license i can ride whichever tracks i like :)
Oh, And just so you know i'm not going overboard with the bike because i see myself as the next insanely fast "racer" and that i'll gain and notice every gram i shed off the bike , Just that i'm a sheet metal worker/welder/fabby by trade so the works second nature to me, mix that with a love of bikes and it's a no brainer really to get the bike sorted properly :icon_salut:
And im skint at the mo... (Like everyone else)
This is the bike as it was originally once i'd rebuilt it from a couple boxes of bit and stuck it back on the road,

Over the past two years it's been tidied up, New Double-Bubble screen, solid rearsets, samco hoses and the like.
Let the Stripdown commence!

Measuring up for Single seater ally subframe

New Ally Clock Mount/Fairing stay i've welded up to replace the seperate stock items, Still unsure wether to paint this black or not.

Modified Clock braket, Moved the Tacho & Temp gauge more central and removed the speedo, Didn't have time to make a new ally one today but is on the to do list.

Clocks cleaned and refitted,

For those who spotted the extra two holes in the bottom of the bracket, Going to have another small bracket fixed to them with a Neutral & Oil Pressure LED's.
Got a little soldering job to do here before i grab the LED's for the clock lights tomorrow,

I've already got a ZXR400USD front end I rebuilt and sorted from a while back, Wheel's spaced and yokes modified.
Just need to make up some adaptor plates to fit either the ZXR Calipers to suit the NC Discs, Or some Harrison Mini 6's i've recently come across :)
Only thing i know i'll have a problem with may be the rear shock, Which is totally knackered and squelching, as i've got no cash to get it rebuilt or get some Nitron goodness. Thankfully thefatman gave me some tips on rebuilding them myself not too long back so may head down that route just with a new spring.
And wheels may be another stumbling block, Currently fitted are some Alpha 10's that have done around 3.5k miles and the rear is slightly squared and the other NC has some BT92's fitted but they're old and seem to have gone hard (Havn't ridden them myself yet)
Just wish it would stop raining so i could make a start on the fibreglass bodywork i've got in the attic, Hasn't stopped pissing down for the past two days
That's all for now,
