That really looks a well cared about rebuild. =D>
The frame looks quite grey in the pics. Is that it's true colour?

Hi mate...
I was umming and ahhing about polishing it, but it just seemed too much hassle...
So i had it powder coated back to its original colour... along with the swing arm and linkages etc....
I just decided that as there is no way I can compete with people like Sean and MJ and all the other trick bikes on here, a nice clean original example would be the way forwards...

Its looking really good, I like it. I do love the look of a standard bike.
Building a special isn't that hard as the KR really lends it's self to modding also the most common and better mods have already been done and the info on how, has been shared on here as well

.
I was thinking about going for a bit of bling on my KR, but can't think of what to do? May go for a nice Pink spray job

Darn can't do that as peeps may confuss her with a RGV VJ23
PS Only Joking Sean.

cheers mate ... much appreciated
As for bling, well now that I have cut my teeth on this one... I'm thinking about the next one already...
Probably different front and read suspension, swing arm etc....
In fact, I have plans for a bike that has a standard engine and frame (kr-1S naturally) and then make the rest up as I go...

Thats the best way to go mate

Mine was always gonna be a track bike and I got a bit carried away with it

I would love to do a road bike as well sometime, trouble is I like modding bikes

so I doubt I could keep it standard.
