they have attachements for springs to fit them to the cylinders, not very good visible on the picture, but they are located where the paper hangs on the pipe.

no I think the may be TZR kit pipes, or gibsons (hydroformed)...
the connection at the head would be exterior o-rings
the straightness and header angle
and the rear frame tab is different

funny story actualydave32 wrote: They up for sale somehwere Jan?
My ex-dealer (he quited the bike-buisness) bought over 10 years an almost complete KR1 in parts. the bike was at a point stolen, and was later found again, but the owner didn't want the hassle of putting it back together and just sold the parts.
over the years, I had bought the engine and all the parts you can brake while crashing
Some 6 years ago, he had enough of bikes and closed his shop, but still has about 120m² of used parts stored. But he is planning to get rid off them (as a joblot) , so I asked if I could quickly buy some parts I could use (I still have quite a good contact with him). So yesterday I was there, and as we were cruising between all the parts, I noticed these exhausts and thought "hmm, they look special and they look KR"
, and apparently it were the pipes that came with that KR1 (it was the only one he ever had for parts).I never bothered to ask/buy the pipes because somehow I automaticaly presumed they would be standard KR1, if only I knew
](./images/smilies/eusa_wall.gif "Brick wall"){kind=small}
but the good part of the story is, I now have them for free
the build quality is very high, beautiful welds that look like a robot did them. If these are welded by hand, the man that did them surely is a pro. general condition is very good, apart from some rust and 1 dent.
they definitly are KR1, I compared them to KR1S pipes, and the form and the position of the rear bracket matches . They are a lot shorter though, so probably good on higher rev's and less mid-range ... the way a proper 2-stroke is supposed to be
