At Last......Putting it back together

[Binetta Steve]

What size sprocket are you going with Bernie?
I switched to a 14T , you lose top end , and changes come up fast, but its great for getting off the line without slipping the clutch.

Hi Steve.......14T I think, it is somewhere in the bits boxes.
I am not bothered about topend speed (otherwise I would have got a nice little 636 ninja or zx9r).

[500bernie]

Hi Steve,
Yes, it was a 14T. I fitted it last night with a new fixing plate and a couple of stainless steel allen screws.

Fitted a few other small bits as well

Morning Bernie up nice and early are you off Christmas shopping . I'm up because I have a 3 yr old who likes to wake you up at 5 in the morning jumping up and down on the bed, that makes me feel I'll all that energy at 5 in the moaning .
I would call that some parts porn, new bits, OEM bits as well, can't wait to see your bike finished, it'll be some bling a ding ding cheers Wayne.

Hi Wayne,

I get up at 5am every morning (I go to bed between 1:30 and 2am) have done since I was about 17, the only good thing about not sleeping is that you can get lots of things done (when most normal folks are asleep).

I have been very lucky in relation to finding new bits for the bike (I started collecting bits as soon as I bought the bike), the NOS red mirrors were the most difficult part to get, and I can't wait to get to the stage when I fit them. I pass Cradley, Corby and a few other good Kawasaki locations quite regularly and always have the urge to call in (I get the urge to make a list of small parts before I go) and sometimes I am lucky.

But I have been helped out by some very good friends here on the forum, that have given me NOS parts that I would never have been able to find, and pointed me in the direction of parts I have needed (thanks guys....you know who you are =D> =D> =D> )

P.S. No Xmas shopping.... the missus does that

[tescr500]

Same as no Christmas shopping, I got one of them that does it to , but as you say this is got to be the best forum so far, I have been on many for what ever subject but 5this is the most relaxed and helpful top banana. what ever happened to wightwizard I think he had enough nos parts to build kr1 and kr1s. Apart from ignition barrel mirrors was the last bit to go on cheers wayne.

[500bernie]

Moving on, I thought I would give each of the parts I intend to fit a good check over and a clean......



A while later....

[500bernie]

Bugger.....just realised my horn was in the box I chucked out the other day

[Luders]

I'll have a look see if I have one Bernie

[500bernie]

Thanks Ben

[Luders]

Sorry Bernie, I must have chucked it out

[500bernie]

Snap.....
No problem Ben

Whoa Mr B.. Your not having much luck with that missing spares box..

Seems pretty easy to pick up matching OEM Kawasaki horn.. It's getting the right bracket that's the p@sser

Have you still got the bracket?

[500bernie]

Hi Shaun,
I think I have a spare bracket in the loft (a good look around in the loft is required), it could have been worse.....
It looks like I binned a load of fixings as well

Another visit to Cradley when I go to the bacon factory, I will just pick up the best value one that is in the shop

Wemoto do one for KR-1s that looks very similar to OEM
