Not if you have OCD, I don't want to catch that :lol:

I think my wife suffers from that, she's always telling me to put my clean socks on a different pile to my dirty socks :shock:
How weird is that..........

People with OCD should be given jobs in hospitals, then there would be no MRSA to worry about.

Top job Martin.

Being quite new here and starting down the road of building my KR1s I have started reading other peoples build threads. There are some really nice bikes on this forum and I have to say this build is fantastic, I love the detail, it is a real credit to the builder - Nice work!

Hi Martin,
Bad luck about the paintwork.

Checked the pistons, no manufacturers markings on the inside.
Only a code number and size on the crown.
A95K7.
7682.
60.94MM.
What do you think?
The rings look like the Kawasaki ones and cover the ring pins.
Cheers,
Bernie . :D

Hi Martin painting is a nightmare, but i must say if you take it to a pro you expect a pro finish, must admit i've still got top fairing to do again as i had some imperfections that i was not happy with, but glad the guy hasn't a problem sorting for you but i do feel for him its a tuff job, but hey ho its his job, i have a new solution for my spraying i'll keep you posted but top banana so far :oops: :roll: \:D/ \:D/ :lol: :lol: :lol:

Hi Martin,

Just checked, the pistons are Wiseco's part no. 7682p6094. Just sent Wiseco uk an email about replacements (parts).

I may enquire at BDK as well since I am sure Bob has had his repaired there.

Cheers,
Bernie :D
