Repsol Honda NSR500 '99

Mario,

Many thanks for the information regarding the Honda NSR 500 '99 and 2000 versions, very pleased that you posted prior to me applying any decals to a NSR '99 version.

Again, many thanks,

Bryan

I think S27 offered the decal for the NSR500 2000 version, in then didn't have a 2000 version of Tamiya, however if you use the 14082 (Nastro Azurro) kit you will get the front forks with the right calipers and brackets that support them. If you still want to use a 99 version should modify the position of the calipers but also the calipers are different (smaller) than the 2000 version. Here a link to pictures of the bike correctly built. http://www.modelersite.com/Abr2001/English/HondaNSR_Eng.htm

Managed to find a picture of the Emerson decals as applied to the '99 Honda (by Tamiya) on Studio 27's own website. It seems to have kept the original front brake caliper arrangement from the Repsol Honda, which seems a deviation to the instruction illustration supplied with the decal kit.

Do any forum members have access to a Motocourse or similar with a picture of the actual Emerson bike as used by Barros..?

Thanks
