Minting the bodywork

About to start restoring my spare KR1S which has the bodywork on from my track bike (binned it like a nob then got pattern bodywork!). Any recommendations who's good/reliable to do this???

Skinnybob, if you get any joy let me know. I'm looking too. I have a similar post in another section here but no answers!

I think Martin had Dream Machine do his paintwork, but they also do bodywork repairs.

Cheers
Al

I still start drooling when I see pics of Martins KR1

It's like lookin at porn for christ's sake!

If you want mint body work, it's hard to go past the finish they achieved on his bike (have a look at his thread in the "show me yours" section for more pics).
Just make sure to check the decals before they apply them (or perhaps supply your own), as I remember martin had to have it redone because they made a typo on the KIPS decal.

I'm guessing that the decals have to be reproduced these days and are not available from Kwak anymore?
It is nice, like mine only better!!!

Exactly the same colour and type etc.... Started it at the weekend after a number of months and she still went.... ooh..... smell the two stroke smoke....! It teks me back a bit!

Yeah, like most parts for these, Kwak dosn't carry them anymore. There's a few places that do repro decals (only the writting), with some advetising on ebay. I think a few guys may have tried the ebay ones out, so maybe one of them can give their impressions.

must admit, dream machine did take there time and made a couple of mistakes[like spelling the kips decal wrong and having to respray the bike twice] but they did put it all right in the end, [after me ranting at them] after all. they coud,nt afford the bad publicity, at least by going to a big firm like them, you have a guarante. and they collect the bike and return it to you, all in it cost £850

£850

but if its half as good in the flesh as it looks in the piks it was well worth it
