hot rod KR250 stuff, Pit Crew, Beet, ETC

Post by pepsi »

I'm thinking about building a Pit Crew KR250 (road legal racer with lights) like #7 above, Has anyone that bike or bodywork like it? Otherwise I need to get dimensions, drawings, photos . I have limited fiberglass skills, any how to books to recommend? Also any hot deals with KR250 Beet pipes,race bodywork or anything else out of Japan lately? :mrgreen:

You'll be very lucky to find some aftermarket KR bodywork, apart from the odd replica front mudguard etc. I've seen a couple of bits come up on Yahoo Auctions but not very often. Plenty of Daytona bars and footpegs though and exhausts too, even new.

Best idea is to ignore KR-specific parts and search for BEET bits for all bikes, then adapt it to suit. Moulding your own fibreglass parts from scratch is a proper skill, modifying an existing part is much easier. It wouldn't even have to be BEET, you could modify an RG500 tail to suit.
