vic-fzr600 Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 Hi folks! In my last post I mentioned I was looking for a new project. Well, just paid the deposit on my new baby! I've bought a Honda VFR400 NC30. Its got a full Tyga fairing kit, seat unit etc. Been sitting for a while but runs, so hopefully a good service, clean fuel & degunked carbs should sort that. Paintwork isn't to my liking so that'll be getting redone too, but that's the fun of a project - stamping your own personality on it. Can't wait to get it home, probably be the weekend at the earliest but I'm so pleased! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2 Wheels Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 Yeeeee Haaaaa, fair play to ya Vic. Keep us posted and give us a pic of her. Hopefully youll put it in the projects section so we can follow. But saying that it takes a hell of a lot of work to take loads of pictures or rather remember to take them. Best of luck with her,,, there a fine wee bike the NC30 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderator drewpy Posted January 25, 2012 Moderator Share Posted January 25, 2012 Nice bike vic, pretty little things those and with the right pilot, a giant killer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vic-fzr600 Posted January 25, 2012 Author Share Posted January 25, 2012 Thanks folks I've wanted one for ages. I'll def be doing a project thread Pat, looking forward to some tinkering again. Hopefully get it home at the weekend, its a bit of a drive (about 2 1/2 hours each way) but will be worth it. Heres the only pic i have at the min. I think it has potential after some TLC. May not be everyones taste but i love the fairings & seat kit. Doesnt look like a 20 year old bike! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noise Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 I do like that! well done Vic on a nice find! well a 2.5 hour drive there could turn into a 5 hour ride home lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it's not road legal at the min. Needs lights etc finished but I wanted a project anyway. The more I look, I'm starting to think it's actually the K Conversions kit instead of Tyga - but I don't care, I love how it looks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're a great wee bike, very lively even with a lardass like me on board!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vic-fzr600 Posted January 28, 2012 Author Share Posted January 28, 2012 So frustrating!! Due to transport issues I can't collect my new baby until next Saturday. I'm busting to get it home & start on my project. Ah well, good things come to those who wait... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol. Trying to resist the temptation to buy bits off eBay before it arrives, just incase somethin goes tits up. Even sent the guy an extra deposit to prove I'm not a time waster.

vic-fzr600 Posted February 4, 2012 Author Share Posted February 4, 2012 Woohoo!! It's home!! Been a long day & lots of miles but think itll be worth it in the end. Needs mainly cosmetic work & the usual stuff you'd expect from sitting. I'll take some pics tomorrow in the daylight & start a project thread. Time for pizza and beer....
