Hi everyone
So ive been searching for an nc30 for ages, ive looked at a few lately but it seems like a bike people try to cash in on. i viewed one last month but i turned up to find it was little more than a £3k priced box of bits
But then last week this '93 type 8 came up for sale...
*
it has the makings of a cracking bike. on the most part its in quite tidy condition, it just needs a lot of tlc... theres bodywork damage on the right side with several cracks and the nose cone is faded from red into brown. The wheels are badly corroded, brakes are binding thanks to rusty rotors, it has surface rust in other places, and like a barn find its filthy and has that green shit growing on it
...mechanically though its superb, its recently had all new plugs a new battery, and a new rect/reg.
Heres a few pictures taken once i had the bike at home. Its looking sorry for itself, but i should start work on it this week!
it has a nice orange nose cone full of cracks, that needs to be repaired. looks like that cracked mirror will have to go as well, and it needs all new bolts
Will have to do something about that seat as well....
yeah its been down the road, but its repairable
Mildue and rust... nice
both wheels will need to be powder coated, the pitting on these is pretty bad... no doubt they should be black, the silencer also needs to go. its too big for a little bike and doesnt look great either
