Nominal Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Need to be higher to be remote, right? Hard to get higher than that. Once fitted and bled, M/C don't need much attention on a lower mileage vehicle I would think - only when pads are changed or similar.

ELEVNS Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Thanks for the great writeup! About to do this to mine, getting some great inspiration from this. And its fine with the reservoirs, just pop the instrument cluster out when you do pads/fluid? Fairly simple Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, not much space to get these higher which is the main problem, KP issues ha! Thanks for the great writeup! About to do this to mine, getting some great inspiration from this. And its fine with the reservoirs, just pop the instrument cluster out when you do pads/fluid? Fairly simple Pretty much, the cluster is a simple thing to remove, literally a 5 minute job to get in there top up fluid. If I get a leaky M/C, then we have a pretty big job to get it out....

AllTorque Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 https://www.flickr.com/photos/snoozinrichy/25368956114/ Is this the way it sits in the tank? (Pump on its side) Will it be all good with the intake sock sticking up like that if fuel gets low? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snoozin Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 Yep, apparently it'll deliver fuel all good, the fuel light will come on long before the fuel level in that surge tank is below the top of the pickup so the key will be to fuel up when the light comes on to remove any possibility of problem.

npinto Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 Amazing project. Congrats on the excellent taste and impeccable execution. I've been inspired by some of your mods in the past, and now I'm thinking about brakes. Do you remember where are the front rotors from originally? Thanks in advance! Anyway, a while ago I began researching, with the help of an esteemed member of Club K, front brake options. I have settled on the Wilwood Dynalite 4 pot caliper, Hawk HP+ pads and a set of commonly available vented rotors which require adapting to the stock KP hub and remain mounted in the stock position so I don't end up with an excessively wide track.

KP5K Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 Snoozin let me first start by saying how astonished I am because of the incredible job done on this KP. I own a KP myself so this excites me a lot! Can you tell the lenght of the sleeves for the rear springs?How do those springs feel? Are they for the soft or stiff side? Thank you!

The cluster is 4 screws to remove and reveal the masters so is that considered 'ready' enough do you reckon? Or does it have to be an unobstructed install?

Thanks, the length I can't remember off the top of my head I'd need to go and measure, unsure how they feel at the moment but I think they'll be on the stiffer side rather than the softer.
