had no serious interest in the KR i was selling so have decided
to keep it and do a blue/black paintjob using my green/black
KR1S as template plus decals bought off e-bay

pics of my 'halfords' special below

repaired the fairing only to find it was bowed in a bit too close
at the bottom and put a crack it in it when i attached the belly
pan

i'll get the MOT done over the winter but wanted to get the paintwork
out the way while the weathers good. it wont win any medals but
will do as a third bike when i don't want to use my others

repaired damaged seat/side panels so saved good original items

sorry, the old saying, blue and green should not be seen, nothing wrong with the black and blue tho..

I think it will look fine when finished, what colour will you paint the wheels?

Garry what exhaust cans are on that ? They arent the standard ones ? they look bigger. You dont have the standard cans around do you as I need one

Its harder than I thought to try and get one of them. If I could even buy a set that would fit the standard kr1s pipes I would but cant see any about.

Just bide your time, they do come up on ebay now and again. And for little money!
