KR-1S.co.uk Forum

Found my old 1990 KR1S which I sold around 15 years ago! I'm in the process of restoring it but this is how I got it back, she was left with a broken first gear. The gearbox and clutch taken out but all still there pretty much how I sold but with 15 years of dirt, grease and grime...
It took almost a year to finally get it back as I tracked down the person through Facebook and would only get updates on the bike every so often.

Congrats, hope you find love the second time around! must be like meeting an ex girlfriend, looks the same but a bit rougher around the edges

Wow, thats a great story...I think she'll keep you busy for quite some weeks now..Look forward to the updates mate.

Thanks guys!
I may need that gear box I'll let you know.
I originally purchased the bike from my brother when he upgraded to a bigger bike, he got it from the original owner back in 93-94. So the bike has family history, great memories and pictures too.

I've stripped the bike, got all the aluminium parts are at a metal polisher and getting brought back to an og finish (not a mirror finish), the forks and rear shock is getting rebuilt from a suspension specialist, the motor is in a box ready to get built from by mate who loves building 2 strokes. I've sprayed the swing arm, sprayed and touched up everything else that needed doing, polished, restored everything else too!
Just need the fairing and tank done.
