put in a front end and chack there is enigh room for exhausts AND a front wheel

make sure, when the forks are fully compressed, you have at least 4 cm clearance between the wheel and anything that might touch it, forks bend a lot under heavy braking

thanks Jan, that's what I intended to do next, was waiting for your reply

The front sprocket location seems more/less in the same position as the KR1S one.

Hi Gary

it's from a Suzuki T500 from 1971..........

Got the engine (in good condition) very cheap, it reminded me of my first bike a Suzuki T350.

First wanted to put it on display in the living room, but the Mrs had some reservations.... if it would fit in a KR1S frame it would be even better.

I like the sound of that

I hope it fits.

I'm afraid it's a no-go:

What do you think? Ok, I will need to make a custom exhaust(that runs straight down) to fit, but it will still be too close to the front wheel

Or might cutting the mudguard be enough? I am not bothered about any Tüv-regulations as I will never get such a custommade bike road registered.

my guess is that's a no-go

let the fork legs stick out about 11-12cm from the top yoke, that way you'll have the position of the frront wheel/fender when the forks are compressed. than you should have 4cm clearance (I'm told buy a guy who should know, such forks bend about 3cm under braking, so that leaves 1cm clearance)

ok, fork legs 11.5cm above the top yoke looks like this:

When I take into account that the height of the tyre itself is 6cm (measured the BT090 on my KR1S), that leaves me with only just 1.5cm clearance.....

maybe if you trie with yokes that have more off-set, and use a Blade 16inch front ?
