    That will just not do mate.







    Get the build thread up or it didn't happen ;)

    Seriously though we all love a thread like that, especially at this time of year.

    Brilliant Will

    I have just had a quick flick through, and already I am seriously impressed.
    I'll wait till I can get some more time and will have a proper look at a cracking build.

    Well done.

    Nice bike ! I had a KR1S. C2. Brought it nearly new then the engine blew with only a few thousand miles on , a piston ring peg came loose an the piston ring turned an caught the exhaust port. Destroyed the piston an barrel.Had a engine rebuild , new barrels an pistons an updated jetting under warranty at WheelPower Rains park,.
    The C3 KR1S had updated pistons an did not do this .
