Varios parts
Hi Jnaus, You could try Charles for the KIPs pulleys. He might have some left from a batch he had made in Germany not too long ago. I have some and what a shame to fit them on a bike. Should frame them! Linkages came from Lee, also through this forum and there's a KIPs motor for sale also on here. My engine was nearly (but not quite) as bad as yours so it can be done. Don't despair!!!

Cheers Gordi,
I bought a second KR1S off eBay. It is missing top end, rad and exhaust. But came with a complete spare engine including KIPS pulleys and carbs. I'm going to rat that bike for parts, then my mate is going to take that bike and try rebuild it.
I'm having a ball pulling stuff off my bike and finding it is still perfect! The carbs were spotless!
There's a few things I'll be hunting for soon, such as exhausts for both bikes, and a top end for the second bike. I still have my old bores and head but sadly there are rooted.

What a joyous f'ing day.
So I load her up on the ute to take her to work and give her a bit of a tub.
I drown her her in degreaser, grab the pressure washer and go nuts.
Then I notice the paint coming off
then after work loading her back on the ute, and on of my co-workers says "Holly shit look at the big crack in the frame"
"Bullshit" says I. But much to my dismay it was not bullshit. Dirty big crack at the bottom engine mount bolt
So now I need to add ally welding and powdercoating the to do list.
It never ends.

I work at a car dealer so I'm sure I'll find someone through work. If not my dad and little brother are both coach builders making custom car parts so they will know someone.
