This is how I got it....


Re-furbished all of the suspension, had the frame and swing arm powder coated






This is where I'm upto.....still a long way to go, need about £250 to rebuild and paint the engine, tnen a respray back to factory colour scheme....quotes vary between £600 and £1000!

lookin good, no doubt a good investment you haven there

I thought the RGs had the indicators built into the farings?

The Mkl and Mkll, and some (foreign market) RG500's too! The Mklll,   like mine had a dirty great steel bracket that holds the fairing mirrors, headlight, indicators and clocks, and was a bugger for gettin all bent up in a crash!! Took me ages to get mine somewhere near, its done now, and the front indicators are now level!!

I see, Its lookin good so far. I must admit I prefer the RD's more  

always liked the look of them
maybe better than an LC

The Mklll Gamma was a lovely looking bike. Quite well made too, by Suzuki's and Yamaha's usual standards.

i've owned my kawasaki kr-1 from new and its done 11000 miles in 19 years! can't part with it though

a mate of mine had an H reg one of them. It didn't look like that after he sent it up the road on its side

Hi Col, nice KR, have you found the Diff'rent Strokers message board? There are some KR-1 and KR-1S nuts there too.

my 1992 gsxr750 wn

was allowed to buy it but being allowed to go out on it is a different story  

WIFE'S eh!

My 1968 sx150 lambretta

Im thinking of doing a grifter to match! what do you guys think?

Great idea Carling, I was gonna do a Grif in my Gamma colours, but it wouldn't look too good, I dont think.....you'd never look at it and think "Ahhh RG250 Colours!" so the Heron Suzuki idea was born...

yes mate i know what you mean. I think once the grifters done and put next to my lambretta then it will look wicked!!! (why not its just a bit of fun!!     )

back in the day my uncle had a kawasaki gt550
