After a lot of cold winter nights in the garage i've finally got it running.
It sounds awesome!!
Just got to sort out all the little problems,finish a few things off,and wait for the bodywork to come back from paint,then its on the road.
Hope you like it.

you've done a nice job on that
bet its a bit of a beast to start
what sort of power does it make compared to a KR1S?

it looks just so right and uncomplicated just sitting there in the KR chassis, a proper big stroker project.
Hope you get it all sorted.
Would like to know how it performs

I'll post a video when i figure out how to do it.
The rear sets are a bit low,they're on my 'TO DO LIST' which is a big un!
It's not too bad to start if you know the knack and wear a bloody big hard soled boot.
Power should be around 65bhp but with scary amounts of torque.
I'm running no airbox,just a 63mm foam filter which has made it very responsive on the throttle,and a massive intake ROAR!!!
The plan is to put it on the road with a daylight MOT for this summer.
Does anyone know the local A&E opening times??

How is for vibration?
I was talking to a mate at work today who said his mate did a similar thing
with a kx500 in a gsxr250RR chasis.
He said it went well but it vibrated like buggery at lower revs.
