Good point about the clutch and gearbox... My NS/RGV already slips, I've got a set of the EBC hd clutch plates and springs, but I haven't got round to fitting them yet.
I've got a whole NS bottom end set aside for this as it is the only NS engine I've ever had that doesn't jump out of second however hard i tried to get it to jump. A lot of the NS400s with dodgy gearboxes are either the early type or high mileage or both. I can't see this bike getting a lot of miles put on it.
I realise that it's a crazy thing to do
, and for what is will end up costing I could just go out and buy a reasonably recent fireblade, but where's the fun in that?
Cheers, Mat.
