I have one also. There is quite the following out there for these bikes. Everything from 475cc kits to suspension/wheel upgrades to make it even better. Unless you are going for the original look.

Basically a standard build but I am looking for some VF1000 rims to lace the NS hubs to so that I can get some wider rubber but with a standard look, it's also come with a set of Nikon pipes that I am going to use rather than try and find decent standard ones.

Going for HRC paint though, this was it back in the day:

And when it got painted and 500cc'd before being stripped:

I had one back in the day. Lovely quality bike, but also flawed with that awful ATAC system. Apparently they slot straight into RGV chassis. I heard that terry shephard was the guru on these, not sure if he's still around though

I think I'm going to do something different, I've been talking to Ian Wright about a handbuilt swingarm so I can slot bigger wheels in and a nc30 front end. Also going for the 475cc conversion but pipes and bodywork I just don't know yet.
