One for the bikers

Here's some pics of my NC30 after fitting the front end off a GSXR750K5.

Needs a few things fettling yet, but I'm rather pleased with the results! At least now this is finished I can focus some £££ the Seicentos way!!

 

[paulbfd]

Should I have put this in members motors?

Mods please shift if so!

looks awesome! needs a GSXR750K5 rear wheel to match though...

Its nice...but I just cant get excited about new bikes,give me old triumphs,early 70/80s jap bikes,maybe its just my age or just not used to bikes that stop/go fast
Out of interest how much does a bike like this cost these days?

 

[paulbfd]

New? It's 17 years old!!!!

Adam - when funds allow I'll be getting a Dymag 3 spoke magnesium rear for it.

 

[T14086]

Looks new to me..............its got mirrors!

Paul, please explain for the uninitiated what has come from the donor bike your bike cos front end to me could be lots of bits.

Cheers

Basically everything that's attached to the long goldy-bits!

Forks, wheel, calipers, disks. Had the top yoke and stem custom made.

Does it steer, as the handle bars look too close to the fairing.

You dont steer over about 20mph, you lean!

You're right, they are. That's one of the things that needs fettling.

There's no marker for where the handlears should have been, so it was a guess - I guessed wrong! It's a fairing off job again to sort it and I'd run out of time / inclination so job for weekend!

What advantage is there of having the GSXR front end on it?

 

[project-cinqy]

It's better!!! Kinda like wacking the suspension off a cinq sporting onto an s! Iirc the gsxr front is a hell of a lot more adjustable than the nc's?

Nice job btw!

Jon.

oh, and Skinz, you don't lean, you "countersteer" To turn left, you push the bars to the right, and vise-versa.

 

[SkinzCinqSporting]

Im not allowed to ride a fast bike, only 125cc if I do my CBT. So when im on the back I lean so just thought the rider leans. Plus I lean on my mates Pug Speedfighter, buts that for laughs!

It looks better.

Seriously, that's why I did it.

you need to cut your bars down a bit, having exposed ends like that + a crash = bars inserted thru the side of your torso/chest = not nice, and lots of pain, meaning you can't breath, and eventually suffecate.

Not from personal experiance off course


I used to race competitivly at DH on dh mountainbikes, even had a sponser for a year too , and there was this kid borrowing someone elses spare bike because he had ripped the headtube off his, and it didn't have barends on, had an accident and ended up dieing from suffocation before the NE air ambulance could get to him because of the trees,
