Not Sure if Terry Shepherd does the kits but maybe he still does the conversions (shipping ++++) or

Classic Race Replicas - NS400R Engine Rebuild, Servicing & Conversions

Most 20,000 mile bikes will require replating of the cylinders, new pistons and the crankshaft rebuilding.
High quality Japanese 57mm piston kits are now available in the engine parts section, to replace your old worn out pistons.

Here at Classic Race Replicas we have developed a 475cc big bore kit using 63mm pistons priced at £1250. Your old barrels and heads are required for this conversion or can be supplied at extra cost when available. A deposit of 40% will be required upon order and will take up to 6 weeks before completion.

Another big bore option will be available from January 2011, this will be a 444cc kit using 61mm pistons, early tests look promising. Price will be a little lower than the larger version.

are they using a stroker crank..... or re sleeving for larger bore only ????

Worth reading IMO

Thanks for the feedback... I have been talking to Ian from Classic race replicas in the UK and found him to be both very helpful and able to supply me with everything i need for a 475cc big bore motor for my bike.

He also has good access to NS400R parts and breaks many of these bikes. He still races one today for a bit of fun.

I dont intend using the original motor out of the bike for this project as they are so hard to find so it will go into a crate for safekeeping.

I finaly get to see my purchase on Thursday when the NS400R & the RZ500 move into there new home all safe and warm.

Cheers
