      Appreciate the comments buddy and yes, Rick Oliver seems to be the guy for spares. Your oki rep sounds like it’s living the life of luxury! I do like the OKI decals. Gold wheels?
      The original panels are indeed nice to have! A little bit of work to make them mint but worth the effort.
      We will try and add some extra details in to make it as useful as possible.
      Thanks again - Dom R+R

    How can you not love a big 2 stroke?! I've only ever ridden singles, up to 300cc, but crave for the time, money and opportunity to restore something like this.

    NC30s are climbing up in value, especially in the RC30/HRC colours.. I am looking at purchasing one myself, but first I’ll probably have to sell/px’d one of my 6 bikes to make room.. What a world eh 💁🏻😄

    Hi guys! Thank you for such high-quality work. I also love old Japanese equipment of this kind and I bought my first motorcycle after the accident, this summer. I'm only 17 and I dream of restoring my dream. I ask you to talk in great detail about all the processes and show and tell the part numbers and where you bought them. This will help me a lot. And I also don't have such a manual book. Could you tell me where to buy such a book or could you scan it? With you, I will not only come to my dream, but also learn English better! Thank you again, I'm waiting!

      Sounds amazing. We did toy with the idea of colour change as the type 1’s look superb. Keep us updated and if any way to see some photos of yours then we would love to see them. Appreciate the comment and kind remarks. 👍

    This takes me back, i restomodded a fighting red NC30 around 8 years ago. Back in its original colours with a few tasteful mods on her. Good luck with this! You'll have better luck getting aftermarket radiator's, there's a guy in the facebook groups that can order you a set with hoses in whatever colour you want. They work well and run a bit cooler too in stop/start traffic. Original radiator's are a bit pants to be honest but if you're going totally original good luck finding some decent ones! Tops are easier to find than bottoms.

    • @raceandretro

      @@raceandretro I did a street triple after that and more recently a Cagiva C12R Freccia, it's basically the predecessor to the Mito, same 7 speed box. Since doing that i've been collecting SP cagiva parts for a freccia SP replica and mito SP replica. Always busy!

    • @raceandretro

      Love the early Mito’s! Always lusted after one back in the day. I think we will get our hands on one or possibly a Futura which I have a soft spot for also. Certainly a two stroke or two arriving with us soon. I do love an SP also! Good luck with the projects and keep us updated. Really appreciate the comments. Dom R+R

    no one has ever shown high-quality maintenance of the rear shock absorber and suspension tuning features. Tell us about this and much more. Also, all the moments about a certain tightening pressure of all bolts. This is very important to me!

    • @raceandretro
      @raceandretro  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thanks for the comments buddy! We will be getting the rear shock rebuilt so we will make sure to document it in one of our future videos for you. We picked a manual up from eBay. Give it a search and I’m sure you will have some luck.
      Good luck with everything and keep an eye out for our next video which will be out soon. 👍👍
