Really nice stuff and has to be top quality seeing who he has worked for. I will definitely drop him a line to see if he can help with my NSR project. However, I am a bit scared of what kind of quote I am going to get. My initial idea is for the bike to look like this. I already have the tank decals and I am planning for get Factory FX yellow number plate backgrounds and cut them to match the original Honda decals.

I've just been offered a type II NSR80, nice condition, about 2000 KM's apart from the top fairing's cracked Sad

not sure I can really warrant another one right now, so, if anyone is interested PM me very quick, before it's too late, same as the pic, oh and it ain't cheap...

Too late for me I am afraid. How much are they asking for it? I am sure north of £3k.

I wish I had seen this one before I bought mine. Would have been a better platform for the project and only marginally more expensive (costs around £300 to ship the bike from Germany). I can't make the hyperlink work, so you'll have to copy and paste it in your browser

This is for the ysr, gives a breakdown of the components, yours may have a damper rod in there too, i dont know? But gives an idea of the components,
Really not sure how yours will compare on the nsr

Easiest way for me to reply at the moment is here then everyone sees it rather than individual replies LoL First things were first, I hadn't confirmed I'd have the bike last night, that has now been done Cool

I am waiting on a few finer details before I can work out what it's going to actually cost me, once I'm able to do that I will come back to you Wink

Any news on the NSR 80? Would love to see some pics of the bike

From my side, a number of small boxes have started arriving from Japan Very Happy

Currently waiting for the kickstand, so I can get the frame sorted out. Can't wait to start putting the bike together!!

Go for it! I have been using Buyee to get many parts from Japan and so far I have no complains. Shipping and customs make buying some parts quite expensive, but for smaller "need to have" parts it works quite well. I even managed to find someone selling a whole bunch of original bolts and nuts for the NSR!

By the way, the guy I bought my NSR from is now selling his TZM 50. He is asking for £2,750, but there might be some wiggle room. If anyone is interested let me know and I will put you in contact.
