Not quite a KR, but mainly Kawasaki

While I was out in the inventing shed this weekend working on this:
I ran into one of those thinking issues. The frame is an ex-Suzuka 8Hour unit and has had all the fairing mount lugs cut off (along with the side stand mount). Anyway while looking for material to correct this and thinking about how to do it, I kept falling over the pile of "must do something with this one day stuff"....
So I did.....
Not sure about the seat unit, it is off my old CBR600 race bike.
It is a CBR250RR (MC22) with my KR1 wheels and front end fitted. I had a KH250 engine under the bench and....
I love the sound of a KH triple, there is nothing quite like it. The Suzukis and h***a triples neve ever sounded like the KH's.... Aural Magic.....
Well I'm not sure about the string and storage box engine mount....
However I'm sure a few bits of Ally fitted up and welded in it will be soon ok.
The supercharger in the picture is another "needs thinking about".
I would have to fit a rotary timing valve to make it work, not impossible but will be tricky with the space available.
I'm going to use KX100 barrels and an electric water pump with an RS250 (h***a) radiator. This will make it nearly 350cc.
I had a look through the various fleecing auction sites for pipes and found that standard KH pipes are worth a mint now..... The number of those I chucked away.....
Anyway I found these in Japan, just not sure which to go for....
These are by BEET :
but they look a bit bland, except for the silencers, however I really like the cast cans. Heavy, but they look cool....
These are by K2 and are a more modern take:
What do you think?
I want to go "Old School" with the paint:
Using the green I think rather than the blue, but definitely the old Kawasaki logo and stripe. Will have to see how it goes over the tank.
I was going to use the KR front end in this:
However I found a set of Mito forks and yokes that were slightly longer and fitted right into the rather small head stock. For the non Aussies here this is a Postie bike... or CT110 whichever you prefer.
It has a small addition, the supercharger...
It will be fitted out with a CBR150 barrel and head and fuel injection, I'm having the adaptors made now. The CBR barrel goes straight on to the C200 manual clutch engine (the one in the bike is the original auto clutch unit) and through a contact in Thailand I got the whole top end for AU$500, brand new.
