you go that far just to be original

those phillips screws are a pain in the ass in calipers and mostly do not want to come out . And when trying, the head gets damaged etc ...

you are right about the phillips screws, if it was my bike,i would stick with the
allen key bolts. but the guy i am rebuilding the bike for, wants the bike totally
origanal.
i will make sure the threads have copper slip so should be ok

I thought there was a dirt mark on it but it was on my screen

I would quite happily have that engine sitting on my coffee table & just stare at it, drooling

Just had another look at the re-plated parts Martin. What is the bracket that sits below the front wheel spindle (to the left hand side of the pic) & above the plate for the rear lamp bracket?

I definately do not have one of those on mine

it bolts to the back of the offside rear footpeg, for the res hose on the
rear shock

Ah, that's why I don't have one then, what with mine being a Kr1

Must find one for my Kr1s project.........

last one to complete the bike is a sissy Martin

That dosent mean you can say my forks are not done when they are cos that wouldn't be fair.
