Great job there, i take it all the different colours are sprayed in and what about the decals are they sprayed or are they stickers, but fantastic job there keep up the good work.
i don't think you can restore a bike to top notch condition unless you do spend more than its worth wether it be concours or to your own spec, ive spent way more already about 2500, but that includes tooling i have bought, ie compressor, grinder plating kit etc etc, these items i can use again and again, so 2000 so far and along way to go, best described as a labour of love.

lovely. its about time the kr1s got the recognition it deserves, the value of them is starting to reflect this. lets remember, its a 130mph 250, the fastest of all road bikes of equal size and thanks to mj (which may have helped boost the profile??) it now holds an official record. not to mention the stepping stone for many riders who went on to race at world level. the kr1s also won a good few championships. troy bayliss,john renyolds are a few off top of my head that raced them. im proud to say i have a few kr1's. its nice to see them getting restored/used/raced aswell. if your gonna keep it i always say it is irrelevant how much you spend. ps would be nice to see a single sided kr1s with h***a rs bodywork.

yeah, if you look at the picks you can see the spokes are facing the wrong way, one i've got the spacers sorted for the 250 wheel i'll get them both powder coatedheadcoats wrote:Impressive stuff
If you used an RS 125 wheel.did you have to turn it round as the sprocket is on the right
