KR1S 500

Hi, i recently bought this from Jimmy , originally built by R1Daz.
CR500 power, i have just replaced the right side crankcase due to it being cracked in 5 places and ive had a de-comp valve fitted so i can start the b*stard!
Im gonna spend this summer? sorting out the little problems and take it apart over the winter and repaint etc. Cant decide if i should streetfighter it or fit a fairing? I had a green/black KR years ago and always wanted a red/silver one .

Great to see it back!
I loved this build. If it was mine I would fit a standard fairing and confuse a few people!
Another southern member- we must organise a south area meet up- there are quite a few of us now.
Oh, forgot to say: Welcome!

I doubt that exhaust will fit inside a standard fairing

damned, should get started on my KXR-500 again, but too much other stuff to keep me occupied

I'll have to have a measure up for the fairing, i had'nt thought about that

I've seen ya build pic's, looks great.
Ive been in contact with Daz, he's been a great help . I ended up sending the head to a guy in the States to have a de comp valve fitted as the CR lump was impossible to kickstart . The bike now kicks over without the need for a second person to hold the bike down

I think it would look fantastic with a standard fairing, especially in red and grey.
I would imagine after all the effort that Daz went through to fit the CR lump in the frame, modifying a fairing to go around it would be a manageable task

It would certainly finish the project off

Yep totally agree, i could do with having a look at a KR1S up close { its been a few years } to have a little measure....anyone in or near Surrey or Boxhill area with a bike i could have a butchers at ?

Hi Steve,
If you get stuck, I can get some measurements of the internal width of the bellypan and top fairing if you want. (The plastics are not on my bike at the moment).
Cheers,
Bernie

Hopefully goes up to be MOT'ed tomorrow fingers crossed. I had to add another end can as it was too loud, funny enough it still is

Taken a while to get to this point, lots of niggles to iron out .
