Tandem Con rods & pistons availability / alternatives?
Posted: Fri Sep 13, 2013 12:38 am
Hi all,
I have my eye on a couple of KRs for sale here in Oz.
Both seemingly complete but not running.
Before I take the plunge & relive my misspent youth. A couple of questions someone here might be able to answer.
It seems that new con rods & pistons are unavailable? Has anyone found an alternative?
Are there any other unobtainable major components I should be wary of?
Haven't seen the bikes in the flesh yet(3hr drive away), got photos though. One seems complete, supposed to have run a couple of years ago, & the other is supposed to be complete but head & barrels are off.
I'm located in QLD Australia.
Also know a guy who needs con rods for a KR I think he has had since new.
Any help greatly appreciated.
