KR-1S.co.uk Forum

well its been a long while since i have been on here loads of crap has happened but my bike is finally getting there just about finished painting it and put it together dry to see if the paint scheme worked. sorry about the crap pic took it with my phone will post a better one if ever i finish it

very nice... =D>

paint looks lovely....

bootyfull =D> =D>
is that an old race colorscheme from the KR250/350 ?

Got to say that looks lovely

Just the right balance of green/white

looking good john.
love the old style white stripe, nice =D>

I like it, lovely paint.

That looks great, I think that 'retro' paint is spot on. =D>

About ready for mot now everything works still need to paint the wheels and finish polishing the frame and clean up a few bits but i can do that when its raining and cold. So we have zxr400 H front end with an L model mudguard, RGV rear wheel, Nikons with JL end cans and a ram air filter with ram pipes sounds good bloke from down the road came round thought i had bought a motor crosser when i went up the road on it , dont know if it goes any faster but it sounds fast oh and 13/41 gearing so its er lively shall we say Paint is loosely based on the old KR racers i remember and liked as a child but i added some more white it was too green.

Do like that even more now.

I've got the same setup-minus filters-my neighbours don't talk to me

think thats about the nicest non-standard paint scheme i've seen

are you doing the wheels white or black/alloy?

makes a change from the pepsi/LS rgv i keep seeing on'tuther forum although they are gorgeous bikes. the kr is were my loyalties lay and it pleases me to see one with a anton mang/ballington era paintjob, it looks spot on and the kawasaki been green, it works very effectively. miles better than the rgv with paint scheme from the same era, heron suzuki colours dont work right on the rgv somehow were the kr looks bang on with the green/white you have got. cant wait to see it with black or white wheels, i would go for a solid colour myself as the polished rims only seem to suit ''near std'' paint or naked specials. a solid black will look mean and aggressive although i think white wheels rule, yes im in the wrong decade but remember all the gp500's having white wheels (well nearly all!) not to mention any self respecting gsx-r 11. oh, and the rc30. mind you i think black will be a better choice as green + black work very well and black + white also go together, should look a treat on the same bike.
