Original Kr-1s rebuild
I am finally getting round to rebuilding my project bike.
I bought this as several boxes of bits from egay three years ago. As with most projects of this type there were several bits missing, the good news was that the bits that were there were in good nick.
The plan is to build the best standard bike I can using all the best parts from the three (yes three- don't ask) bikes I have lying around in the garage.
I'm planning on taking photo's as I go along so here are a few of the gearbox rebuild.
More to follow soon.......

I'll tell you what BM, i'm glad you posted that pic because when I started putting my engine back together the gasket I put on looked bizarre. Its reassuring to know that yours looks exactly the same as mine
I just thought that because I had an after market gasket set, the gaskets were not cut correctly
Can you not make two good bikes from the bits you have? The more of these we have on the road the better
Good luck with the rebuild & keep the pics coming fella.

The one that is currently on the road is slowly being modified more and more, I'll post a separate projects thread in a bit.
This one is going to remain standard and the third is just for bits at the moment, it probably could be saved (it's all there) but would cost a fortune.

Fitted the clutch, no pictures of inside I'm afraid; I was too busy swearing at it
As I fitted it into place the flat splined washer under the clutch kept moving slightly out of place meaning the clutch wouldn't sit properly. Took me two attempts to sus this out. Once I realised what was happening a small dab of grease to hold it in place and it went on easy.
Piccy of shinyness-
Oops, upside-down!
Next, the top end, but I need to order a genuine headgasket, the one in my dodgy pattern gasket set looks very suspect, like a bit of tin foil.

P.s. I just looked at the photo- I need to clean up a few of those bolt heads Just another job on a long list............

Well, another update in the fast paced rebuild! I bet you have barely had time to draw breath since the last one.....
I've started on the frame, stripped it down ready for cleaning and spraying.
I have constructed a high tech spraying area in the garage-
Knew I would find a use for those old curtains
Well, that's it for now, see you in another 18 months

I'm not sure if the guy is still interested, I haven't heard from him for a while.SHimmer45 wrote:looking good mike, i thought u were selling.
In the meantime I am working on building it to make it worth more!
As usual I am working some odd hours, give me a call and I'm sure we can sort out a time.SHimmer45 wrote: are you about over the next few weeks?
Cheers,
