Looking at doing my first hybrid, using a 350ypvs been collecting the bits and pieces for the last few months and have now finally got all that I need.

Been on the phone to Mr Kimber and it is booked in for December to have it installed into a frame that is away being shot blasted.

Ducati summat or other forks,with Brembo Brake calipers KR1s every thing else apart from ZX9R disks.

A freind of mine has just closed a business making 'fast and furious' style cars and whilst I was helping him clean out the last bits and bobs from his unit he gave me a load of carbon fibre wrap and some 3M carbon fibre sticky laminate stuff so going to try to cover the tank, panels and Bikini fairing with this.

Has anyone done a KR1s conversion before. I have looked on the net but can not find any photos.

All the best

HI, and welcome to the forum. The KR1S with YPVS engine conversion has been done before, although it isn't very common. How serious is the engine going to be?
Also, I'm not sure if it's an optical illusion or not, but in the last pic it looks like the forks are closer together at the bottom than at the top.

didn't someone post a PB article on here with RGV front and rear, YPVS engine in a green and white KR1.

always wanted to do this conversion myself with a bonkers banshee engine, would make quite a scary superbike humbling weapon
