Another Kr1
This is what I bought off Hipringle,
I have fitted the fairing I bought off Teerex & photographed it from the side that was not damaged during my 'little off', ho ho ho
As you can see it has a very shiny frame that wouldn't take much to bring it back to 'really shiny', best get it powder coated then
It is a B2 model, import, with 1S forks & expansions. 1S rear shock also fitted.
Someone at some point has fitted a 120/70 front tyre???
Here's another pic
All in all, its well worth putting back on the road, restored or MOT standard? I don't know at the moment
Anyway, here's another pic
Its all fun

Looks all there Howie,
I would finish your other projects first
Always a problem how far do you go, freshen up or full on strip, bit of spit and polish (or alot) and then sort the bodywork.
Will give you something to do over the winter, looks in good shape.
When did you have a little off

Its very embarassingWhen did you have a little off
I bought a new fairing off Teerex just to get my Kr1 through its MOT.
The blue/green/white one in the pics, I still haven't got round to getting it an MOT either
Anyway, coming back home down my drive in the wet, I throttled off & coasted home only for the front end to go bugger
Never touched my brakes, feathered the clutch on the way down & bang, down we went, bugger

Thanks Pablo,
I know what you mean about having enough on, I seem to be in demand from everyone at the moment, very bizarre
I'm not going to touch the Kr1 until I have finished my boiler cupboard & got some heating back on in the house.
Want to see a pic? Of course you do

I built this, got some advice off Kfor, regarding the footings (many thanks KFor ) but other than that, its all my work.
OK I know I need to point up my brickwork but for a first go at bricklaying, I'm quite happy.
Just fitting my 'ebay special' boiler at the mo, ahhhhh warm house, here we come

I'm really critical of my own work 375, even though it was my first attempt at laying bricks, I still think I could have done better
Still, not to worry.
The boiler installation will be first class I know a fair bit about that sort of thing
And yes, Mrs Howie is dead pleased, she's been very encouraging even with all the bad language thats been going on for the past week or so

If it took you a 3 days to lay the bricks on yer boiler cupboard-how long did it take to build that?and if your bricky in oz built it....i'd stay there out of shame if i built to that standard
Gonna go to the LC thread,and look at something nice :-& .
I used to be so care less,as if i could'nt careless.
