Found this board by accident... wikipedia rules
Anyway, thought I'd post a pic of my Revere, it was bought from a lady owner and proved very reliable, it handled better than it should have done. Eventually a Ford Fiesta did a u-turn and redesigned it. After a year sat in the garage looking forlorn a mate kicked me up the arse and told me to fix it or sell it.
So I stripped the thing and set to with the angle grinder, M&P catalogue (they were once very useful), and a mate who did custom paint.
Lets see, i had one off yokes from inch ally, bar clamps made from the left over ally, alloy pegs, modified Jota bars, switchgear from a CBR, levers and brake cylinder from an NSR125, gelgrips, ally bar ends, clocks from a VFR, Venom nose faring with uprated lights, mini alloy indicators, new radiator, goodrich hoses and ally fittings (since changed to stainless), polished wheel rims, taper roller head bearings, new bearings for swingarm, one off stainless pivot pins for the footpegs, and the levers, powder coated frame and swingarm, aftermarket drag racing exhaust, forget the name but sounded awesome. As I worked for a food machinery manufacturer stainless fastenings throughout even the M4 countersunk screws for the lid on the brake cylinder, uprated clutch springs, uprated fork springs, front mudguard from a kwak. Engine was painted and of course I got a nice coat of paint too.
Sadly it fell into disrepair, and at my age combined with no garage and a small house I had to let it go
Anyway, heres a pic.
edit:- NTV600J (pretty early model)
