Default NC30 Resto/project

I bought the NC last Dec with the intention of doing a resto on her, the previous owner was commuting on her and had put new tyres on, serviced it and had the valves checked and carbs cleaned, that was up until 5 years ago after a low speed spill. I've checked the oil and it looks like it was put in yesterday.

Since then it sat in his garage, the battery is dead, the carbs will need cleaning and old fuel drained, the front callipers I have taken off to make moving the bike easier as they were binding.
It doesn't start but it does turn over, hence the carb clean etc.
He replaced the scuffed levers with TYGA items.

I was going to have the fairings repaired and repainted in the HRC Type 1 scheme, they have some damage to either side when he dropped it, all panels apart from the sides look ok with no obvious cracks.
When I took off the side fairings I saw that the top rad was leaking so that will need replacing/repairing.
All in all I think she'd make a straight forward resto or a decent track bike.

I have the V5 in my name and a couple of receipts and MOTs.

I'll see if there's any interest on here before eBay.





Asking for £1100 ono.

PM me with any questions, I've got a load of photos I can email over.

Based just outside Milton Keynes.

Cheers,
Dave.

I've had a think over the weekend and I've decided to hang onto the NC30 and complete the restoration myself.
At a £1000 she doesn't owe me much and as they're becoming rarer to find I think I'll regret it.

Apologies to any interested parties.

Cheers,
Dave.

I'll try and remember to take photos and document each bit of the work, can sometimes forget to though when you're wrists deep in a set of carbs

Good luck with it fella. They can go for good money, but the top dollar goes to the completely stock/unmolested ones, with original paint, equipment and FSH/MOT history etc.

Cheers bud, you're right there, add 'UK spec' to your list and you'd get even more!
I did think about keeping the original Astro paint scheme but as the fairings need attention and paint in places so I'd like to respray her in the RWB type 1 scheme. All panels are original Honda so that's good, lots of NC30's out there with cheap, ill-fitting Chinese sets on.

I have a BMW S1000R shock to go on but may get the OEM shock re-built to keep it factory.

Lots to think about but she'll look mint when she's finished!

Cheers,
Dave.
