Welcome Fellow YB owner :P
I spotted that bike, was tempted to go and take a look when I went to the Lakes at the w/e, tidy thing in the pictures anyway
My NC's great, Ohlins shock, RO fork kit. Otherwise standard.
I did the carb mods and wasn't wholly impressed with the results, I've just set the needles back to standard. Got to balance the carbs tonight. I think the folk that claim they're hard to work on haven't done much else other than 125's. They're easy (try changing the belts on an integrale!), the qaulity of the NC compared to other bikes of the period is obvious, even down to the the fasteners etc. Only tricky thing i've found is trying to reach the carb adjusters, I ordered one of these puppies http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/OFFSET-SCREWD ... 4ab1da9a18 to try and do it, on the grounds I couldn't justify the cost of one of these

If you're ever done my way feel free to drop in, I'd planned on going to the Cosford meet but we're away in Wales for the w/e. Of course as you know Kidderminster is also the Bimota Capital of the UK :-)

How do.

I've purchased a 90 degree bit holder already :grin: I've also got a Morgan carb tune for balancing them. I'm interested to inspect this renowned Honda build quality.

All I've got to do is get time off work one afternoon this week to go and collect it. It might even be at Cosford this weekend!
