KR-1S.co.uk Forum

This is the one I've been using while building the other one . & I'm not going to restore it .... But I collected quite a few "new" parts for the other one. & never used . Two seperate ex racers had removed the parts of a new bike, "to take it racing" put the parts in the loft sold there bikes yrs ago & forgot about them . Full plastics , & The shock, are the Gems. So they'r going on this one....I hope your all tidy workers like me ......Any one shed any light on the shock I took off, It worked well

doesnt look like needs restoring. looks fine as it is.

EMC shock, got one like that hanging up in the shed, steel body alloy adjusters, blah blah blah.

now then.......whats the eye to eye mount centres measurement ??

the kr1s will be a bobby dazzler for sure !

Seem to remember it's a fraction shorter than a kr one so about 275mm(ish)

Tout 273mm centres, send Red Devil a PM & buy ? . Alan

Thanks for measuring A !

looking for 320mm.....but had to be worth the ask !

Not heard from Mark for a while now.........LFC top of the prem and all that ......

I'll ring you, well I might if yer lucky Anyway titles are won in May not Jan, then again it's that long since you lot won one I suppose you forget.

Anyway here's a pic of your ex-captain warming up for his new side HMP Walton FC, thought it might cheer you up



ps cbr600 is about 320mm

Finished. !!!
To cold to take outside for a pic. "but it's all been seen before." I can't remember being so cold for so long. Really sick of this winter, & remember where I live, I can through stones at Scotland
Anyway enjoyed doing this short make over
New dust & fork seals / oil + painted the fork legs
New seals & painted the calipers & disk centres.
Removed the s/s hoses & fitted originals + the ugly rear swing arm hose clips
New shocker.
Replaced a load of bolts with originals. fairing & screen bolts are still available.
New clear screen.
Swaped the cans over. "There reversible" once you carefully cut the brackets off
Removed two decades of crap from under the engine & rear shock
New throttle cable.
Tank I thouht was in good condition but I still managed to poke a hole in it, beside the tap now soldered up & painted
Done a lot of professional touch In's using my new friend ( an airbrush )
cleaned & Set the carbs up. (Big difference )
Something everybody should be checking. I thought the bike handled well
If not the best i've ridden. But I knew the fork seals were shagged. But it was harsh over poor roads. So while doing the shock discovered that one of the linkage needle bearings was seized, had to drift the dam thing out. Then the head stock bearings once I had the front wheel up discovered.
some mut had tightened them right up. So expecting a different bike to
ride when the temp gets above 0

really,really nice mate you're going to have a jaw droping collection there,real stunners. =D> =D> =D> Have you thought about showing them?

What did you use to paint the calipers and disc centers?and I know what you mean about the winter.

Alan, top job as always. What paint/process did you use on the disc's and calipers? They look new!

Keep up the good work.

Jase

Really nice Alan.

What a great find the bodywork was =D> .
