its all there tank etc is in the background.
daylight pics might be a while coming as i dont go down to where its stored in the day at the moment.
as for its condition the pastics are rough, (tail pieces looks undamaged plus the inspection panels)
Pipes look VERY good.
not really checked it over properly yet, the clocks on show 18K and the engine and leccy's are all wired up so i recon its just been parked up and left so with any luck it be ok.
I brought it as a source of spares for my other one, so i will just end up with a complete rolling KR1 chassis which i could you for any stroker if time and money permits, tho i have had ideas about bolting a big single into it but that is just a pipe dream.
More than likely if both my engine and this ones are good and the cranks are not mullered it will possibly be put back on the road.
so yes another one saved to some extent it will live on

well progress has been slow most of the leccies are now in and been looking at the brakes.......
looks like it has had some attention recently as they split easily and the two rubber seals on the side of the calipers are ok and pistions are a bit iffy on a couple of the faces possibly damage from grips i expect.
so a quick lick of paint and we see how they look, providing everything in good nick they should be fine
i do appear to have a Nissin master cylinder might even be radial as its not mounted above the the lever but in line with the lever...
would this affect the calipers in anyway, being as the bike was an ex racer i dont know if the current setup was used in anger?
(some pics to follow)

Original calipers are fitted at present to test whether they are up to the job.
if not i have shall have to sort someting else (i will be in touch soon Ali )
basically at the stage where i can start to clean the engine up and get that somewhere handy for fitting.
recieved my F3 Valves from Charles (top Chap) so these will be tucked away for when i can find a home for them. As im sure i need to mod the 1 Barrels to make the most of them, so that be save for when i rebuild the engine.
Also going to be taking the Chain slipper into work and seeing if i can get something made out of plastic to replicate what it does, i will know more in the week if its going to be feasable.

some progress on it.....
bit of a poor picture but the motor is heading in the correct direction, no blasting at this stage just some manual labour with the wirewool and autosol....
hoping to have it in over the xmas period in between eating vast amounts of turkey and the like

Attempting to resurrect the project been about 6 months since any meaningful progress...
since this my 1st major project how do people suggest picking where to start again?
basically its a rolling chassis with dash and some electric's fitted and that is about it.
rest of bike is in boxes....

If the engine is ready, bolt it in. I say this because it really does make it start to look like a proper bike (rather than a pile of bits) and will give you a sense of accomplishment along with some motivation to get it finished, or at least it kinda did for me, until the project stalled yet again while moving house (but I got it finished.... kinda..... in the end).SHimmer45 wrote:since this my 1st major project how do people suggest picking where to start again?
Also, posting up some current pics will also help as then we can all start putting extra pressure on you to get this or that sorted. We're a helpful bunch like that.
