Are the rear brakes the same on the 2 models ,carrier,caliper etc?
Also i have a pro-bolt catalogue for some disc bolts (front KR1S)
but i'm not sure of which to order as i have none to compare.
They are M8 but what length and what is the size of the collar in mm.
AND....what size are the bleed nipples

Get your bleed nipples from Hel, they're only a couple of quid each, will measure a disc bolt if you're stuck.

calipers and disks are different on both models so are fork bottoms

I don't know, I've never had a KR1.

To my knowledge calipers and discs are the same 1 and 1s.

Disc bolts are as you said m8. From underside of head length is 30mm, threaded length 25mm, shouldered section 5mm by 10mm dia. Head dia 18mm.

Can't remember what size the hel bleed nipples are, but if you order them direct from hel it gives you the option for Kwak and model etc.

KR1 Man calling to say yes the rears are the same on both as I swapped both over on Sleeping Beauty for a better set from the KR1-S I am still breaking for spares. Just watch the thread on the bleed nipple. All the best, KR1 Man.
