Nice score there!

Would be a cool track bike with all that racing history. I'd love to get a set of the kit pipes like that. Will you be keeping them on or fitting stock pipes for a full resto?

Gecko KR-1R...

it will be interesting to see if it has kit cylinders on it - check numbers/resonator
seeing it had what is presumably a kit CDI 21119-1279 (21119-1275 was OEM JDM)
it has the best forks of the period and trickest pipes
I think you should keep these mods, just stick an original fairing back on and some road gear
I think you'll have more enjoyment as a road bike knowing how rare it is riding it around, and riding to gatherings

I like the idea of the bellmouths moving away from the carbs at high RPM Danny. Very clever!

mick [kopite 30] dropped off his kr1r rare engine off at mine today.
thought I would post these photos to prove mick has a genuine kr1r [you can see by the number after
removing the resonater chamber.
mick has asked me not to disclose anything when I sort the engine, so if anyone wants to know anything, they must contact mick

Think it's just the auxillary exhaust ports that differ on those cylinders. Bit bigger than kr1s unless someone has been in and done some tuning.
