Nothing artistic, but I liked the way it looked as I was walking away, so I had to take a photo

Looks great Lachy.
Ride height looks perfect, scraping at all?

Looking nice Lachy. Gets me thinking about coilovers ...

Are there many of us still rocking the 17" RH's ... ??

Ride height could probably come up a scootch. No scraping day to day, I take short round speed bumps cautiously, but not ridiculously slow or at extreme angles. At the dodgy day, on Magpie's smooth flat garage I'll do a height check, maybe adjust it a touch.

Coilovers are nice, but if you want a plush worry free ride, then stick with the billies. I actually do want to move to 15s, they're on the shopping list, they just aren't critical - and I don't know how to sell the idea to the missus :oops:

Yeah must admit I've been searching the web for some 15's. Some Work Nezarts on Gumtree at the moment caught my attention but not sure if they fit our brakes and also locally here some nice Enkei Big End Rodders I've thought about looking at and doing a trial fit.

Are those the Konig TE37 reps Okibi?
They're more concave than I remember!

They're rota grid concave

An adept description of the KR
"...A period road test suggested: “It’s happiest between 8000 and 10,500rpm. When the engine hits eight grand at full throttle in first gear, the front wheel claws for the sky while the KR leaps forward…”

And this is where the trouble really begins. It was a ratbag bike designed by ratbags for ratbags. So it rarely saw much below redline on the tacho and didn’t take at all kindly to long-term, flat-out riding. It’s a great machine to own if you’re an enthusiastic two-stroke mechanic and a right bugger if you just want to ride it. (Note: If you want to see the world’s most fluoro website, visit the UK owner group at www.kr250.org.)"

Or this sort scheme

So, here's a BRAND NEW KR, still in its shipping box, owned by a motorcycle dealer near me. Have a guess how many offers of purchase he's had for it???

No offers and he wants to give it away to a good home?
