A bit of an update for anyone interested . Have just sorted out purchasing a half wrecked KR-1 for parts and if another deal comes off the KR count will be 4
Have been collecting bit and pieces and will rebuild the engine on KR number 2 and get it sorted for the track . Kr number 1 will be kept pretty much as is for the moment and flogged at any up coming meetings and track days , seems to be hanging in amazingly well .
Number 3 will be used for spare bits for 1 & 2 . Already need a bolt for the one that snapped on the way home from EC . Holds the handlebar into the fork clamp .
Number 4 should be very original and quite low kays . Havnt actually seen it yet but is only showing 2500 k but has been on the track for a track day or 2 so we will see . Has original purchase papers and is very clean with original plastics . Will post a photo soon .

What a good idea , if you smell castor oil in the air you will know Ive been around

Great stuff Billy. You can look like a real pro mate, you know two bikes, one set up for the wet, one for the dry

go billy you can never have too many bikes

4! haha you're addicted.

I love it.

Does this mean I might stand a chance of beating you on the second machine? hehe

Ummmm Yes Damn it

Nice work Billy...although some may say all that smokin' won't be good for your health

Thanks for the positive comments gentlemen , not too many people out there think that 4 KR's is normal
A couple of photos of number 4 . It's bloody amazingly clean for a nearly 20yr old bike . Compliance plated 4/88 making it the oldest of the quads . I am not sure on the history but the original owner sold it to a mate of mine who pretty much lost interest straight away and sold it to me .
Must have done just about all its kays on the track . Showing 2350 odd and I feel that they must be pretty genuine when comparing the details on the rest of the bike . Has hit the deck once and has a scrape on one pipe , pity as they are black chrome and would be impossible to repair .

Best part is that it has a full set of race glass that has been painted

This one will somehow be put on the road . Don't want to have it fully registered . Pity we don't have the same system as Canberra , could just get it out for summer fun . Am going to look into "red plate" reg , but not sure if its old enough .

Runs pretty well but Im thinking that the primary /idle jets may be a bit clagged up as down low it misbehaves . Get up to around 6 grand and it howls (did take it out on a private test facility) Haven't even had time to wash it yet , let alone check under the tank and seat . FFS it even still has the tool kit
More soon

Oh , and all the electrics work , indicators ,brakes etc . Would pass a RWC no problems .

Thought you were suposed to be giving up smoking . As Mick has pointed out smoking is bad for you and terribly addictive .
