building an 87 kx500 "kurt nicoll" worksbike-replica

(1/3) > >>

kurt nicoll was beside dave thorpe , georges jobe one of my heros in the old 500 gp worldchampionchip. i always wanted a gp-bike or a replica made. here is a pic of kurts 87 worksbike :


after 2 years of thoughts on this in my head, i am now on the starting line. picked up this 87 roller without tank seat and brakes at last weekend and the wrenching fun starts now to my 3. individual project:


after a little walk into my spares-room : voila looks like a bike again ..  8-)
the seat is from a 86 kx125 still with oem-cover, tank and plastics were a cheap ebay-find 2 years ago


the motor i have since last year: 88 kx500 , rode it last year in my 87 kx250 frame for testing and jetting..

full factory bike  :-D ... i try to make my bike optical as close as i can , but i would also use the 250 tank ...  today i found out, fork, swingarm and linkage is 88 , thats exactly, what i wanted to have on this build.

sandblaster my friend, thats the secret project, that spoke of some weeks ago...  :wink:

Dutch-K5 Fan:
I was fan of THE KID Eric Geboers and my brother Nicoll.
He even missed second heat at a GP, waiting for Nicoll to get his riding shirt.
Only Nicoll gave it to some one else :|, so he got that CAMEL jersey they used.

and now you are hakan carlquist-fan, like your profile-foto??  :-)

 the decals are on my long parts list...  :wink:  if the time comes, i have to find out, who is able to make me the mxa-team kawasaki - seatcover with name ...  but first the mechanical things. i plan to use it as racebike, not only for show
. i was also thinking of making a thorpe , malin, or billy liles replica, but i´m no big friend of the 90/91 frames with the brackets on rear shock  ...  8-)
