Hey am new to this forum, so howz it to all you guys first.
I picked up an MC28 a while back for a good price, but had a few things wrong with it, mainly the previous owner, had 10 lost the card 2) tried to bypass the system 3) screwed the card reader so badly it wouldn't work anyway. He gave up and left overseas and i happened to be in the right place at the right time, not knowing what i was getting into, i figured it would be easy to bypass etc etc, man was i wrong. The rest of the bike looked pretty good, in need of a lick of paint and a bit of TLC.
Firstly big ups to NSRmonkey who offered a hand who then put me onto Andy (nice site Andy) and thanks to Andy who put me onto TYGA, Paul is a top bloke and i couldn't say enough good things about him and his business, he sorted me out an old PGM cover with an intact reader, so thats on its way, only the card......... So Paul suggested JHA or TSR, TSR never got back to me but Akira from JHA did and have just sorted out getting a HRC 030 card, only thats at least a month and a half away.
So any other major issues aside (hope none) the bike will be running in under 2 months i can't wait, then hopefully i will have a bit of money aside and the modding will begin, i'm aiming to get around 70hp out of her, if i get more, well i won't be complaining.
There aren't too many MC28's over here in New Zealand and i know the 21 is lighter etc but i reckon the 28 look bloody hot (best looking honda road bike bar the RC45). cant wait to go scare some bigger cc bikes.
To top off a good day, my trusty TL1000S just got back in the garage all ready to ride, only i'm not quite ready, still in cast from when a 200kph wheelie went rather wrong, i ended up breaking both my hands, but that was it, the leathers ett did the rest very well. Only bout 2 weeks and i should be good to go. The TL dont look like a TL no more though but it'll still do the trick.
Cheers people, don't suppose there's anyothers on here from NZ?
And i know the MC28's are restricted via the card to 40odd hp, what kinda hp can i expect with the 030 card, bear in mind the rest of the bike is stock.
Thanks
Bruce
