Race Bike Refurb

Post by nzkr1 »

After a couple of years off it's now time to make a come back. The last time I raced this I was down to a front number board. Probably due to crashing so often. Have sourced some new fibre glass fairings, not quite KR1 style but I think it'll good look all the same. Things to do before the 21st of September: Mount fairings, remove white paint from wheels, paint fairings (original green ebony colour scheme ), braided lines to fit, fit new tyres... And hopefully I'll be there.

Not long to go now. Race day Saturday! Had my first go at using the spray gun with some 2k paint on the fairings. Rims stripped and repainted. Don't want to do that again! Here's a progress shot

That looks fantastic, well done.
I thought the number boards had to be a specific colour? Or is this just for certain classes of racing?

ACU regs Bernie. You'll notice I don't race in an ACU official class anymore, so do what I like with my numbers.

Hi everyone, thanks for your kind words. Our governing body stipulate that F3 have white numbers and black background. Race day tomorrow, can't wait. Hope the weather is good.
