fitted the front end into the actual bike......here's a few pics

just need to sort the rear ride height,46mm over stock,which makes the allready somewhat quick steering bike,almost fall over into bends(not that bad when you get used to it)
then its time to save up for the paint......if i can find another decent painter......

I think I must have forgotten how ugly that front fairing is! Lovely job though.

Yeah, today the front view of the fairing isn't pretty, but then they are no worse than a TZR250, and almost sexy compared to an RG250 Gamma etc.

Great work on the bike! Thumbs Up
The modern front and rear suspension should make it much better to ride when set up right too! I hope it's either got a re-built or just one of the better KR1S engines, that left the factory, as the reliability of the worse examples is only second to the RGV IMO!
At least the PV's can't fall out and destroy the lump before it gets chance to seize from other causes! Laughing

Hi

Afraid I think the KR1 fairing is good looking. And I also like the RG250. Both better than the TZR250 (and I have a TZR250).

All the best
