welcome to the forum!

These will physically fit your KR1. But to gain the maximum from them you would need to remove (with a dremel) a ligament (hope this is the correct english word for it) in the KR1 barrel. Will post you a pic so you can see what I mean.

A set of valves will cost you (incl p&p) 152Euros, these are approx (correct me when I'm wrong) 246 Australian dollars.

All valves from the first batch are sold now, in order to get a second batch produced I need 10sets to be ordered. If you want a set too, I'd still need 4 sets to be ordered. So I can't say atm when these will be ready for shipping.

Perhaps one of the other aussie guys (Lee, Simon) can tell how long the shipping took?

Here a pic from a KR1 barrel, with said ligament:

charles just the pic i have been after seeing as im going to be modding my 1 Barrels.

removing it free's up flow within the barrel thus improving performance?

we will be making a batch of pulleys/levers soon. Will visit Herbert on Tuesday and ask for a quote and will then start a new topic on them to see if enough people will be interested....
