Following on from...
Bikemike's 'the garden project' please let me introduce you to possibly the worst KR in existence, if that one was the garden project, this one is going to be known as compost corner. (Yeah too many saturday mornings in front of the box watching Tiswas )
Current plans include, lobbing it in a skip and doing something else.....sorry, that's the sensible option, but I'm not doing sensible
Er, black frame, black wheels, black footrests, er yeah got a black thing going on again, that and the fact I've an absolute shitload of very good parts from my other one.

Well, the project was soon reduced to a pile of bits, the 'chuck' pile being a fair bit larger than the 'save' one
Frame is now black, need to collect on monday as are nearly all the other chassis bits and pieces.
Current plan is, usd front end (zxr again-on the way) and possibly this for the rear
I've just picked up this zxr250 back end for the princely sum of 30 quid, a quick inspection and I do mean quick, looks like it will bolt straight in a KR1 frame, spindle size and length is the same as a 1, linkages have the same code on them (1085 I think). Wheel is the same as a 1S, same code etc. Seems to be same width across. So all looks like it may just bolt in. Disc looks fractionally bigger than KR.Rear caliper looks the same. We'll See.
If it does go in, I may use a 1 three spoke wheel to match a zxr400 front
Other ideas include a VJ21 tank, how has anyone else fitted one of these? I was thinking of cutting the mounting points of a kr tank and getting these brazed on or something.

So far, Garry, it looks like all the suspension linkages etc are exactly the same as a KR.Garry wrote:Is the mounting point for the suspension unit the same width and in
the same area?
It really does look like it will literally just bolt in, here's a couple more pics,
One of the zxr arm and a spare 1s arm, looks very similar.

make yourself something like I did :Red Devil 777 wrote:Other ideas include a VJ21 tank, how has anyone else fitted one of these? I was thinking of cutting the mounting points of a kr tank and getting these brazed on or something.
and I welded some skirts on the tank, so it matches nicely with the plastics :
My ultimate goal is to die young as late as possible !

I think the zxr swinger looks a bit longer than the kr one.
In the pic the top is higher and the bottom is lower.
rgv tank doesnt match up to the kr seat very well without a bit of buggering about.
there tends to be a gap between the tank and seat but this can be filled by brazing in an extra piece as jan has done.
it needs new mounts fabricatinf both front and rear but it does sit nice on the frame when its done and is definately more shapely than the kr tank.
kr fuel tap is a straight swap onto the rgv tank.
