Hello All,

Bought myself my first NSR a few back after wanting one for as long as I can remember.

Thought I would post my project progress here and it's got a bit of work needed to doing to it. Below is a summary of what needs to be done and what I have done so far.

Its a 1996 SE model with 18,000kms but has been in storage for several years so was quite dirty and not running when I picked it up. Motor has been serviced, carbs/powervalves cleaned, etc.

* Bodywork is tatty - Needs to be cleaned and plastic welded in areas, currently at a bodywork specialist for cleaning and re-laquer...might even opt for a decent Chinese fairing set or get the whole set airbrushed in OEM colours.
* Fairing bolts are a mixture of random ill fitting nuts & bolts - OEM full fairing & windshield bolt kit arrived today.
* Ill fitting carbon front hugger installed - OEM front hugger arrived last week.
* Forks have some minor pitting - Will scrub them up.
* HARC Pro exhaust system has been neglected, the spannies under the fairing are caked in grease - Will get scrubbing!
* Wheels have several stone chips and tyres need replacing - Tyres on the way and wheels will be repainted.
* Top yoke has some minor scratches and the yoke nut has been painted blue (!?) - Will get the top yoke resprayed and have just recieved the OEM yoke nut.
* Previous owner lost the indicators - OEM indicators just arrived.
* No oil pump/reservoirs installed - OEM replacements and all hoses ordered, should be here this week.
* PGM unit fired (RC valve issue) - PGM unit will be sent off this week for repair.
* Clock assembly digital display is knackered - Sourcing replacement from Japan Yahoo.
* Various cables kinked/frayed - OEM replacement clutch & RC valve cables ordered, should be here next week.
* Rear seat pad lost - Will buy next month.
* Rear mudguard has been sawn off - Will buy next month.

Will get some images up soon and as I progress. Hoping that I can ride it by the end of March and have fully transformed it to near original condition by October.
