KR1 Front and rear

Post by patch »

Um. I have no doubt that this has been asked many times before, but here goes anyway...
I got a 1989 KR1 B2 here in NZ, and would like to upgrade the suspension. Just because. I've got hold of an RGV banana swing arm (and 17" wheel) which will need 2mm thick spacers I understand, plus maybe new dog bones?
Hoping to get an R6 shock which will have the extra length to compensate for the 17" rear wheel.
For the front, I'm looking at ZXR250 kit will they fit ok? - ZXR400's are pretty rare here so would take some tracking down.
Anyway, it's a long term thing. Summer here just now so want to just get out and ride but it would be good to start collecting the various bits and pieces asap.

Any advice gratefully received. Chur.
