I was thinking The Stigs illigitimate offspring, or perhaps one of his clones that didn't come out quite as expected. :mrgreen:

I love this build Gary.

Congrats on getting married by the way \:D/

I love the simplicity of colours, the black, the white & the shiny.

Personally I would paint the rear caliper & torque arm black too but thats just me, or maybe strip the torque arm & polish that, with a gloss black rear caliper :-k

Anyway, it is looking good fella 8)

Hi,had to get some more powdercoating done, so took spring out of hagon, and got it done yellow, i know it's not swedish, but it looks so much better than red. The paintwork is going to be , the classic black and green, with a twist, so it will look good in yellow. Going to fit a single seat as well. Just bought a pw80 for 200 quid, for my two year old, so have some time to restore that. Got married recently, and my best man gave me a ty250 , which as been in his shed for years 'top man. Start restoring that when the kr1s is finished. Will post some pictures when i go and collect it. \:D/

Hi,

Over Christmas fitted my brake calipers & new brake hoses. Also fitted chain & sprockets.

What do you think of the chain guard that came with the bike??

I am not keen on the chain guard Gary and think it would look better without one to be honest.

Jesus H general jumping Jackson christ, that is shiny.

I like them there spannies 8)

What you doing about a chain guard Gary? Keeping the one in the earlier pic? Or got hold of an original?

Can't wait to see the fairings.

Hi , have decided to ditch the chain guard through other forum members advice. Because I'm going to run a single seat will be ditching the rear pegs does it still need a chain guard to get through a Mot??
