Alright!!! Just got the bike back together for a test run today. Felt really good riding it around the block. Realized that I need to rebuild the steering knuckle. So I ordered a new set of upper and lower triple's along with everything else needed to make the rebuild. Ordered the triple's just for piece of mind. They looked a little off while riding. Bike tracked fine, flicked back and forth just fine but it had a movement in the steering head I am not comfortable with.

Just ordered a new set of plastics! WOOT WOOT!!!!! [sm=bounceybounce.gif]

So if everything goes as per planned I should be posting up new pics of the second version of my 1krr in a couple weeks.

Here are the plastics I ordered. What do you think?

 

Nice, sounds like a nice little project you got going. New plastics would be so nice if not so expensive.

 

Trust me, I would not be spending money on a new set of plastics if it wasnt for running into a guard rail. Way to much money to spend just to change the look of your bike IMO.

 

aww man those forks were fine. you don't need all that stuff

 

LOL... I know I probably could have just buffed them out....

Funny thing is I took the really bent one into my buddies shop to show off. They just showed me a bucket full of really bent forks. Made mine look straight as an arrow lol..... Some were bent so bad they had torn the housing open line a tuna can..... That must of hurt....

 

Awesome! And if there's anything I've learned about un-straightening forks, it always means replacing the triples too...go ahead, ask me how successful I was at trying to bend the lower clamp back to level...hmm mmm, not gonna happen...

 

Congrats to hear the progress DWs! .. we want pictures of the progress!!

 

I'll show you mine if you show me yours. Hows the progress of yours coming?

 

I would love to be able to order a set of new plastics. I might go with a stock color scheme if I could. I like the red and white 929's.

What set did you go with? OEM, stock color? Different stock colors?

 

Aftermarket. The color is a OEM design, but it has a twist to it. I have never seen these colors used in this combo. It looks like it might be a Euro OEM design or something.
