OK, progress report copied from other site and edited a bit.
Got a kr-1s a few years ago to do up and put on the road, in fixing we got rings that had a different configuration at the split, long story short, the barrels now have a score through the nikasil powervalves were flip anyways so i decided to give up, by the time i get money to fix it properly ill be able to afford an aprillia rs250 (possibly considered prfanity on this site
) anyways.
Firstly i ripped out engine, cleaned and CADed up the rolling frame.
I obtained a motor from us (when nzd was at is max ) its an Etek-R which gives max power of 18hp, and continuous of around 10, which is bugger all but with a fully faired bike it should do a hundred easily.
mounted the motor onto the swingarm itself as it doesnt weight much and this eliminated the need for chain slack, thus slightly increasing efficiency.
ull notice some cnc maching on the mount, courtesy of my part time job at massey uni.
also got chain and sprockets custom form nz sprockets, 14tooth over a monster 68 tooth, i machined 4/5 of the weight out of the 68 tooth and mounted in place of the original
got some cheap agm deep cycle lead acid batteries (well cheap compared to the fancy batteries anyway!), welded up a battery box for them and stuck in.
got the e-stop made and stuck in now too
So work left is basically all circuitry, PWM controller, pack voltage to 13.4V converter, mains charger, and main control and monitoring circuit. I also have a few aesthetic bits to do, suck as replacing the KR-1 with KR-E on the lower fairing, and swapping out the tach dial with this
(it would be like havin sex and only using half you d!"k 
) and just switch off the limiters when i need to do some proper testing. This will also allow me to change as much shit around as i want as mopeds dont need to be certified or checked at all.
