Kawasaki KR1000 Endurance Replica
- Thread starter Exige
- Start date
Oh, I see where you have made your error - Started the build on June 7th 2022 as you can see on the link. You seem to be talking about a few weeks here and there over the last few years where I have been manufacturing all the component parts form scratch In fact the last year has also included scratch building many parts so I guess we could say it's only really about 6 months on and off over the last year - it's a bit different to what most people call building a bike by buying a few bits of tat and sticking them on you know

Maybe you should count from when you first start the engine?
Or maybe your first test ride?
Yeah, first test ride. Quickest build from scratch, ever!
First start of engine might be cheating as it could be this yearView attachment 78528

Postman came today with gifts - did a quick head-scratch of where to mount them and determined I need to move the plate back a little to clear the curvature of the seat unit. I will remake it using the same mounting points and extend it rearward towards the battery box...
He's be well jell as it will match his sockets
Just been in the garage to ponder fitting my ignition switch and was going to see what shape bracket was needed to fit to the back of the two coil mount bolts - but realised all I had to do was remove the front spacer that allows the coil body to clear the tank and replace it with the ignition mounting lug 
feckin' amazing result

The only reason I ask is because I was thinking I’ll probably need new tyres on my bike again soon, that will be the 3rd set and I have the same tyres as Exi has put on, Dunlop Mutants, and I was thinking his will be so old soon they’ll have gone hard and brittle and I was thinking he’ll have to buy some more if he’s not careful.
You get a lot of time to think in 9hrs on a bike
They have tubeless tyres these days. Radials. Dead clever.The only reason I ask is because I was thinking I’ll probably need new tyres on my bike again soon, that will be the 3rd set and I have the same tyres as Exi has put on, Dunlop Mutants, and I was thinking his will be so old soon they’ll have gone hard and brittle and I was thinking he’ll have to buy some more if he’s not careful.

Give Bridgestone BT-023s a go, got them on my 900ie and done 2K miles on them and they have no indication of wear yet, fucking great tyres that you can get stupid lean angles on once you get some heat into them, i'm sold!!The only reason I ask is because I was thinking I’ll probably need new tyres on my bike again soon, that will be the 3rd set and I have the same tyres as Exi has put on, Dunlop Mutants, and I was thinking his will be so old soon they’ll have gone hard and brittle and I was thinking he’ll have to buy some more if he’s not careful.

Late 2022 date stamps, I've got 6 years yet and that's if they are in sunlight so should be OKThe only reason I ask is because I was thinking I’ll probably need new tyres on my bike again soon, that will be the 3rd set and I have the same tyres as Exi has put on, Dunlop Mutants, and I was thinking his will be so old soon they’ll have gone hard and brittle and I was thinking he’ll have to buy some more if he’s not careful.

HowI would have thought you would have had to change the tyres because they would have died from boredom
I don't let them read your posts

, fantastic grip both wet and dry and I like the tread pattern, it suits an adventure bike, plus that blocky tread helps on the shitty road surfaces in rural Ireland. In fact they are so good, grip wise, it wouldn’t surprise me in the slightest that once @Exige trys them out on his Kwacker that he decides to put them on the Bimota when those tyres need changing.
Velcro, mmmm nice
Are your slippers handed or does the Velcro flap go the same way which could ultimately make you walk in circles if you walk far enough
