Anyone know where to get a full wet rear tyre for a KR1? I've tried googling but I'm not having much luck. :(

Thanks. :D

I've got one I'm selling. I'll check and send you the details, they are tricky to get hold of

Sorry, a mate actually wants it, but it's a Bridgestone 150/635R18 and this company has 1 in stock...

You're most welcome.

Is this for a track bike, or are you racing it?

Its for this, its an RD250 sprint bike, theres only the engine thats RD250 and thats had a lot of work done. As you can see I only have a KR1 back wheel and rear brake caliper. :lol:

That is awsome 8)

You look a bit young to be racing though Metalface :lol:

Where does the fuel go?

Thanks mate.

The camera always makes me look younger. :lol:

In the bottom pic just before the headstock theres a red cap, thats where the fuel goes, it holds enough for a 1/4 mile and thats about it. 8)

yes, and looking at the angle of your headstock, I wouldn't worry about possible bad side-effects on the handling :lol:
