That cant be correct ...it hasn't got a ducati swing arm on it.

Helloooo AirCon
No Paul, this is the second KR1000 refurb. He finished the first one a year ago, I reckon.Blimey, it’s been soooooo lonnnngggg since this thread was updated that when I saw the notification of a new post and clicked on it I was taken back to post 1, page 1, even the Forum software had forgotten about this thread
I built a Tamiya Kit of this when it came out around 1982 as a toddler.... (well I was 18) and always wanted one. The other thing I always wanted was to build a bike from scratch having built a heavily modified Z1b around 20 years ago...
Cheers, hopefully get the frame back from its long holiday at the painters and the final build can finally commence soonI built that kit when I was a kid also, I think I was 12 or 13, and have looked for info on it here and there over the years. My most recent search for "Kawasaki KR1000" led me to this post of your build. I think it's really cool that you're doing this and look forward to seeing your progress on it. You've provided more information on this thread alone than I've been able to find anywhere else.
This post is useless without pictures !!Cheers, hopefully get the frame back from its long holiday at the painters and the final build can finally commence soon
