Cheers :)

Of course the KR-1S is more important 8) so I'm making that as original as possible while the RGV will be transformed away from it's original look.

This is what I'm aiming for, getting there slowly..

Looking good, now the fun part starts, what happened to the swingarm, footrest punched a hole in it?? it's getting harder to find a decent one, did a 21 myself a couple of years ago, hated the looks of them at first. :)

Again, sorry for delay.. not really sure but I think everything was loose so maybe swingarm was a'swaying and god knows what else but is wasn't good, I thought best to use original where poss, big weld tho.. :(

Gonna try n modernise it a bit, the KR will stay original..

I know it has been a long time guys, but finally finished it, flew through the MOT... Except.. No Indicators, changed in 1986 and this is 1989, being fitted now. :lol: Few more decals and done.. Might have to find an alternative to the rear wheel guard one day but happy with the outcome..
