bastard!!! ive had my carbon bodywork for months now, have it fitted up ect but still not painted. you come along and after a few weeks of aquirring an rs bodywork set you have it fitted AND painted in concours quality!!! looks lovely ade and i really ought to pull my finger out. your bike looks stunning in the new clothes, about the best kr ive seen in terms of different bodywork, seems to fit perfectly.

thank you for your kind words i understand that there will be people that are horrified that you would take a standard kr and mutilate it, but the bike was reasonable when i got it but nowhere near what you would call "right"
the bike is h***a rsw gp bodywork only in glass not cf like some
h***a rs screen, as i struggled to get the correct screen for it
zxr 400 front end retaining the kr wheel
r6 shock
aprillia rs 125 rear wheel as i couldnt get a 17 that was better quicker this will be replaced when i can
lomas cans thanks sean the tuning works.
tdm 850 radiator will post how this works out after monday
minor porting work not sure whether this is in the right direction yet
cheap paint job from a mate ( i think its cheap the decals that are on it now cost more than the paint job).
ade.

You know I have been looking at this a lot recently and did not twig that it was the one with the RS125 rear wheel! I just did not notice the spokes going the wrong way, must be all that lovely green bodywork
Cheers

no pics yet but ive removed the swingarm to try the rs250 arm in first issue is that the arm is marginally too wide at the pivot to go in, i am going to get the arm machined down so it will fit the frame.
the second issue is that as someone on the forum said in a previous post a long while ago the hole through the swingarm through which the shock goes will be slightly tight as well.
will have to think about this one for a bit

no filled and flowed pablo as per mj's directions, the cases i got off kr1 man they were clean as a whistle when i got them. barrels are a bit furry outside but graham says he can clean them up.
