welcome to the forum Malsa, thanks for the pics.

Are you going to restore the paint job, or keep it in the ZXR scheme?

ps; engine mounts good cheers, when i took out engine there was already a spacer on mount, sure it had never been out before. do u know if they had a spacer as standard?

Sure they did not have a spacer,but some put one in to take up the gap.

Yes it is the colors of the John Reynolds KR-1S, but he ended up coming second in the championship.

He only narrowly missed out mind and had the flywheel not been machined down too much and disintegrated at Snetterton, he probably would have won.

Personally, I love the colour scheme.

Agreed, he could probably pick up a green one, or have it re-clothed.

Re changing the seat colour , if you wanted to go back to black or a colour in this companies range - I've used this in the past with excellent results. There is a UK supplier that sells it on ebay:

I remebmber the PB "win a kr comp",ive still got the mag!LOL
It was an actual B2 model that was raced at the TT sponsored by Rock oil,there was a pic of the bike jumping ballaugh bridge,still had the stock B2 pipes.
Not sure it was john reynolds who raced t at the island,was 89.
You won a replica of said bike.
I like that colour scheme,reminds me of my MX days when everything was Team Green.
