Dont worry Martin , after two nights with Lenny in a Premier in Bernie will have polished em with more Carnuba than you can shake a stick at!

Thanks Dan,
It has taken a lot longer than I thought it would, but nearly there now [-o<

Love the clip on's, Very nice =D>

They look even better in real life, the finish is top class (well done Rich) =D> =D> =D>

Thanks Bernie,
They compliment your bike nicely.

First chance I've had to look through this post at the pics, the bike looks fantastic! If all that was hand polishing I guess you've worn your fingers to stubs by now..

I'll keep an eye out for pics.

They were always a bit stubby, but now I have no fingerprints

All for a good cause though =D>

Can't agree more

Hi Bernie,

I've been watching your rebuild thread with interest and sunglasses! I've been promised a rather tatty looking KR1 for free (just need to get it out of the corner of the factory that it's been resident for the last few years). I live in School Aycliffe and have used this company for plating and chemical blackening old model car parts. The chemical blackening will give all the old bolts a new lease of life!

They do a really good job with a quick turnaround. When i do get the bike i'll post some pictures.

All the best

Hi Bernie,

I've been watching your rebuild with interest and sunglasses! I'm hopefully receiving a KR1 soon which needs a complete strip and rebuild. I live in School Aycliffe and have used Almit for metal restoration (plating, chemical, blacking etc). They are based in Newton Aycliffe and have a quick turn around.

Back again........
My left hand switch unit has seen better days


I had a new replacement unit, but I accidentally chuck it and a few other items in the bin while I was having a clean out
I have a couple of knackered spares, one with very bad road rash (but good switches and wiring except the pass switch which is totalled)


The other one has had the wiring tampered with, as it is wound in electrical tape, so I expect broken wires have been repaired.


Tape removed, repaired wiring found
I only need the body and the indicator switch.



Good for me the come apart, the springs in the indicator switch are a bit fiddly...


The two small white parts have a compressed spring on the underside that sits in a small groove.
If you remove both of them, plus the switch contact plate, you can then remove a retaining clip for the indicator switch.

More later

I may have a better looking one Bernie
