Oh, that looks nice, more modern.
Did it just need a new alloy plate making up or was there more work involved?
Really looking forward to seeing it finished.

I had an alloy fork brace made to fit the mudguard and had to jack it up on i think 10mm spacers so the mudguard cleared the tyre !!!
Alot of trouble i guess but i just didn't like the standard KR mudguard

It's nice to get them back on there wheels You feel like your getting somewhere =D> ..... Pic angle & colour of the back wheel make it look about 24" not 18"

Tried fitting the KR1s speedo cable today but it's too short
Needs to be about 85mm longer
Does anyone know from what model a longer one is available ?
Anyone want to buy a genuine speedo cable

The ZXR 400H had longer forks and the same speedo drive unit (but different ID for the spindle) May be one of them will fit?
Personnaly I think your best bet is a trip to a friendly breakers with the parts and dimensions and have a look at his bits

ill hazard a guess at any of the zephyr range??? kawasaki are norm quite good were interchangeability is concerned, esp parts like that. at least i think so. for the sake of a few quid its worth a punt using ebay to source a useable used one then get an oe one when your sure it fits.
