Hi guys!

I'm fresh member at your forum.

I have one of five KR-1 (B1) ever imported to Finland and as far as I know there is only two examples running here both at Helsinki capital city area. No S-versions exist here. Please correct this if I'm wrong. I also have Z1-R for daily runs.
I have been lately working with exhaust chambers and I have now third good version coming for next summer. My aim is beat the stock S-version, not only in weight :). I use MOTA for calculations and Rhino for modeling.

My new project is maybe more ambitious one as I am re-designing the cylinders. Now, after modeling phase, I'm looking for right manufacturing process particularly for my project. Later I may expose more about this project if someone is interested. So if you didn't heard this efford later I may screwed up...:-$

I need new set (4) of exhaust valves for my becoming cylinders. If there is still one set to sell I would be very happy to buy one.

How can I send private message for certain member (in case of bank account info etc.)?

Cheers, kr1stian
Kickstart your heart.

only 1 set to go and the whole batch of 100 valves will be sold. \:D/

Hope to get a date tomorrow when they very likely will be ready for dispatch.

The Elf's valves are being measured now, drawings of them are currently being made. Will check on them tomorrow.

Aluminium has been ordered.

Valves will be ready no later than September 15, probably some days earlier.

Just to clarify, these won't fit KR1 B2 cylinders will they?

Am i right in thinking they use different size PV's.
Restoring a KR1.

They will fit, you just have to use a dremel to widen the KIPS port a bit. I use KR1-barrels too.

yes, the holes in the valves are different (the KR1S got larger ones). The (external) dimensions of the valves themselves are identical.

cheers,
Charles

No, it's not a great job. I've only just found out what this mate of mine is able to manufacture. He can nearly make everything we may come up with: KIPS valves, KIPS levers, clutch stars, etc.

I'd dare say if you got sets of the linkages made up you'd have a few takers, me included.

yes, it's still available, will add you to the list.

So far production hasn't started so I can still order extra sets, the more the better.

thanks,
Charles
