bit quiet on the site at the moment so thought i'd put some pics on

first one - owned for about 13 years
stickers can hide a lot of scars

second one - had just over a year

third one - had about 2 years but not tried yet !
have now got some S pipes but not fitted yet also want to fit black
passenger seat and fill gaps in front of side panels

like this

Really nice bike Garry. You must have a very understanding wife

i do - but i still get a bit of pressure to sell

thing is if you add the total expenditure it's still a lot less than most people spend on 1 bike

all insured under 1 policy so only extras are MOT/tax - approx
£50/bike = £3.00 /week - pint & half of beer? - i know which i'd
rather have

I am very jealous

I think the first one is ace!!! the best bit is that even after 13 years you still have it, well done mate, Black n Green one looks Nice too!!

thanks for the comments guys

bl/gr one is powder coated - was already done when i bought
it. think it might have been a race/track bike at one time as it
had no oil-tank and was running on pre-mix (since converted)
got it for bargain price of £450!

Nice bikes garry , ive my green white blue kr-1s done with a black powder coated frame,but have to say it looks better on the green black one. Rebuilding my green black one at the minute so am tempted to powder coat the frame black on it.

I like those

you dont have a ratty one either they are all sorted and look clean and nice and you could park them up without sloping off in case anyone saw you

. Way things are going you are also going to be the only person on here with one that works in summer

Actually theres you Cliff and Lee unless anyone broke his earlier

hi lee

when i bought it, it came with a spare smashed up belly pan
i cut the extensions from this

cut a couple of strips of alloy to link fairing to extensions and
drilled/screwed it all together

cut a piece of stainless steel sheet to bridge the gap between the extensions underneath

also made an ally bracket to connect r/h side to screwhole where
the overflow bracket normaly mounts to stop it moving around

didn't get a blue peter badge though

i'll post a pic at the weekend

know what you mean about the fairing - they seem to stop too short
and make it look a bit dated -it's not so obvious on black ones because
the fairing tends to blend with the exhausts

I really like the black one thinking of doing mine the same but don't know what colour to do the wheels, any ideas ?
