Thanks Andy...it's taken a while but I'm back to working on the NSR. Yes the motor did run. I only ran it up and down the alley at the back of my garage tho'. I didn't think it was wise to do much more than that, but happy it ran. Seems like in every case wherever more than two fasteners are required there's only one. Likely it was quickly thrown together for the auction.

Beginning to dismantle, it's such a small bike!


So far have ordered:
Front and rear brake rebuild kits from powerhouse-uk
front and rear pads (Sumo) from an e-bay seller
fork seals, carb rebuild kits, rear brake master cyl rebuild kit air filter and all the appropriate OEM gaskets & seals they had in stock from Tyga Performance

Will order a top end rebuild kit once I discover which barrels & heads I have.

Switchgear super deteriorated or is this an odd finish I have not seen before? Searching for replacements but so far they've been in the $200 range and....in much the same condition...
