Thanks guys.
Still not 100% , but it's getting there.
If anyone has any spec parts which it's missing? I.e. 1 ogk grip (I've a pair but one end is gone. Nitto bars, irc tyres etc, then please feel free to drop me a pm. Would be nice to complete it one day.

That's nice, bars, grips and tyres look ok; proper old school!

Can't beat a Black & Chrome build

Mmmm Kuwahara, not the most common bike on the block, so it's always good to see another well done example.
Lovely job.

Little bit of an update for the Nova, managed to find a set of original Nitto bars to replace the Win Pro bars currently residing on it. Thankfully still sporting the original decal too. Little bit a polish and they’re good to go!

Unlikely

I hate the idea of diving into the bowl of peanuts after anyone else
