Todays progress KR1

[Howie]

but Barclaycard have been fully supportive of my efforts so far - not sure if they know they own a garage full of 20 year old Kawasaki's but I couldn't have done it without them

Fantastic

I'm sure you'll pay them off one day salty

[salty]

Plan to die first! Pay Barclaycard second

I have a poor relationship with money but a great relationship with "stuff"

What should you do if your garage is full? (a) stop buying (b) sell something (c) build a bigger garage and carry on?

I'm a (c) every time and Barclaycard is a full (unwitting) partner

Salty

=D> =D> =D>

Just so you know, I'm a 'C' too

I hate to think how long its going to take to pay off my Barclaycard

Mind you, if you offer that amount of credit in the first place, then its your own fault if you don't get it all back

Have I mentioned that I dislike big business

[Top-shaggy]

Yep I'm a "C"

Those seats Mr Teerex are bloody brilliant !!
Cost me over £60 for the last set of Genuine KHI covers (which I fitted myself) and I didn't get the strap with that so your contact may just be getting a call.
I would have no reluctance to use him with a quality finish like that !

As for the Barclaycard, I'm pretty good really.... It's the misses that likes using mine... And the TSB card .... And the Americam Express card...

ouch !!

We should have a list of trusted engineers/suppliers/trades people etc on the forum, what do you lot think?

What a great idea Howie:

A little bit cheeky... But it would be really a helpful thread if one or two of our experts posted an approved contacts list, Teerex, Martin etc giving us a list for :

Parts supplies
Painters
Decals
Powder coating
Plating
Aqua blasting
Crank rebuilds
Shock rebuilds
Aluminium welding
Plastic fairing repairs
Seat recovering
Rebores and engine tuning
Any others?

Ive used all sorts of different contacts with variable results especially decals and painters.

Now ive sold the KR1, for my next trick i will be restoring an RD250E in yellow with Allspeeds.

I will be posting a rebuild thread if anyone is interested, AND YES ITS A YAMAHA but so what

Just need to find a cheap on first.

[teerex]

Well im looking for an RD250E bike to restore and everyone is bloody miles away.

[Howie]

I will be posting a rebuild thread if anyone is interested, AND YES ITS A YAMAHA but so what

I'm interested, ok I love my Kwaks but any restoration thread is interesting (especially with your attention to detail Ian )

Not sure about your chances of finding a cheap one though

[teerex]

Thank Stew, i would like to think ive earned my place on the forum to post any rebuilds i do even if its a Yamaha.

Earned your place???

Don't be daft fella, I think I speak for all members when I say, regardless of your bike be it Kawasaki, Yamaha or even Suzuki, you'll always be welcome on this forum

Ok go on then, even if its a h***a!!!!

I daren't post pics of the 400/4 i'm doing Not only is it a h***a, its also a bloody four stroke................

[teerex]

Eh ive just bought a h***a CB600 Hornet to tear around on, not my first choice of bike but the price was right, i loved my CB1300 and its a baby one.

[teerex]
