Final KR Based Race Bike Project

[Luders]

Thank Steve, thanks Paul. I should have the bodywork on it this time next week doing the vinyl, so you will get a better idea of the final clothed results soon.

[Luders]

Bit more pipe work, I've tacked both sides up now and removed the wheel the get them even both sides. I had some 10mm ally bar, so I taped my mini spirit level to it and ran it across the ends of the cans to get them level.

[Luders]

Just wanted to wheel it out the garage and get a better look at the exhausts from a distance.

awesome looking bike Ben =D> =D> =D>

[Luders]

Thanks Jarno. Jan, I'm guessing it would look something like this in relation to the exhaust and seat unit.

[JanBros]

it's absolutly perfect like it is Ben =D>

[Luders]

Base coat is complete on the bodywork now, so just doing the stickers and masking before I send it back to have the black finished and lacquer applied.

VERY NICE =D> =D> =D>

Would it have a detrimental effect on the performance of the pipes if they had a flat on the sides? (Where they bulge through the belly pan), I have been trying to visualise how it would effect the reflected pulse, but it is beyond me

[Luders]

As far as I'm aware, it's volume which counts, so a flat (so long as the volume remained the same), would not make a difference to their performance.

As things stand, these pipes give better clearance than what the lomas pipes offer, so I should get at least another 3° of lean angle out of them before they become an issue.

[500bernie]

That would never be a problem for me,

(do the standard pipes have a flat in that spot to increase ground clearance?)

[KR-1R]

a proper seat - not the humpy, droopy pinched and tapered like a pooh of the final years...


mmm boobs ...
or hang down like truckers' balls
depends on personal preference?

bitchn'
with all the weight loss and centralisation I bet it will feel so different
