Newbi to the forum. What do you think??

Post by enigma-manson »

Hello all,

Here are some pics of my KR1S C2. I've put url's to bikepics.com as I can't work out how to post them direct to the forum.

I've had the bike for about 5 years now and I've owned a few strokers including an RGV & NSR.

It has become a bit of a project over the past few years. I've had the wheels powder coated and I'm in the process of getting the calipers blasted and anodized. I've also put a pair of Nikon pipes on a well. I've not had the chance to ride it with them on. Does anyone know if I will notice the difference?
When I work out how to post pics I'll put some more on as I get things done.

Is there anyone out there from Norwich, UK??

Jim

Just sent my calipers off for blasting today. As you can see they are looking a big tired. I got new seals for them (not cheap mind!). I'm also goint to replace the hoses. I'll post some pics before they go for anodizing.

Hi mate and welcome,

The Nikkons give a very simular performance to standard, but weigh a lot less and seem to give a bit more over rev than most other spanniers. I've found that they benifit a bit more by wrapping them with thermal tape to keep the heat in but that's on a race bike rather than the road. I'm still waiting to hear about hoe the new Lomas Pipes perform.

That's bloody nice, looks spot on to me. An absolute credit to you.

Nikkons? I like them, I've got a pair on mine, if nothing else they sound better.

Oh yeah, Hiya and welcome aswell

Where and what colour are you having the calipers done?

hi,

@enigma-manson
welcome =D>
badly the links to your new bike images are blank... :(
i hope you have more luck than my...

a dealer in german which sold JL pipes say me the JL has the same performance then the standards pipes.
the pipes are very light and have great sound.
they would perhaps more power, but the ignition don`t allow to overide.
the most power from JL on the TZR250 is beetween ~10000 and 12500!

Alltough you can't see it in the pics there were a few cracks in the upper fairing. I've just got it back for Padgent Paints (Norwich) all fixed.

Does anyone know where I can get a sticker set for it? I've tried Image works in Derbyshire but they need tracings. I could get it sprayed but I want to make it look as original a possible.
