If you are happy to do the modification to the airbox, I would go down the R6 rear shock route as the custom made route is expensive. I have Maxton suspension on the RS250 and so I checked with them for the KR-1S and the rear (inc. ride height adjustment) was 520GBP plus vat. The Technik one I have worked out to be about 400GBP. Its about another 40GBP for one with a ride height adjuster.geezagillard wrote:Can you tell us more about the shock....I have been looking for a better rear for a while with the ride height adjustment as well. How much was it?
A bit more progress on other fronts.
The wiring is back in and covered in spiral-wrap and the replica warning decal on the swingarm worked out well.
The brake calipers are starting to clean up okay and the black goodridge lines look good.
The rear reservoir, bracket and hose have cleaned up nicely.
Roose motor sport radiator hoses have also been fitted - a good buy from The Tuning Works.

Thanks for comments.
Currently struggling with what to do for silencers. Mine both have large dents and scruffs but I can't afford new OEM ones. Missed a NOS one on ebay a week ago that went for about 70GBP.
Not too many other problems at the moment other than a leaking water pump gasket.
I became an Australian citizen just before christmas and so it had to be BBQ paint for the exhausts! Once the surface was prepared it seemed to go on really evenly when a good satin finish. Will just have to wait and see how it holds up.pablo wrote: What paint did you settle for on the exhausts

I've actually seen a bike around recently (not a KR) that must've had a pretty scruffy shock res, cause he'd slipped an empty red bull can over it. Had a good laugh to myself when I saw that.Howie wrote:I still think that rear shock resevoir looks the nuts
Ian, you may have to go aftermarket for the cans. Maybe some nice JL items would look the part.
It's definately gunna be a head turner when it's finished going by what ouve done so far. I'll admit I'm somewhat jealous of it.

I tried a pair of the JL aluminium cans on the standard expansion chambers but found that the diameter on the silencer entry wouldn't fit the mounting flange without modification. I wasn't sure if it was just the pair I had but Sean, at the Tuning Works, was really helpful and took measurements on others in stock and they were all the same. I may risk a pair of the ones from Hong Kong advertised on ebay for the NSR250. I also contacted Nigel Kimber to see what he could do.
