My Dominator supermoto

[Gixergav]

KR1S is a 250 2 stroker race rep.Like a tzr/rgv. The first model was a KR1 and came with the three spoke wheels which i have fitted.Later KR1S had five spoke wheels and i'm pretty sure they can be swapped straight over so you could use five spokers if you wanted too
The wheels themselves are unmodified.The rear end transplant needed:

The KR1S swingarm is ever so slightly too wide to fit the frame. A millimetre if that, so i had to very lightly machine it down to fit.

I had to make new linkage bars/dog bones that connect the swinger to the shock linkage.Two strips of flat steel easily does the job.The swingarm mountings and the shock linkage sit perfectly in line with each other At this point you can alter the ride height if you fancied.

Everything else bolts together as it would on a standard KR1.The wheel,brake,torque arm etc. The chain alignment on mine lined up perfect I had to have a rear sprocket made to fit a KR1 with Dommie ratio as they are unavailable off the shelf.No hassle, B+C Express made a nice alloy one for me for around 25 quid


The front conversion is as follows:

Use the dommie spindle with the KR1 wheel and spacers. The wheel fits straight in but........... the wheel has to be turned 'backwards'. There is a direction arrow on the wheel,this will need to point the wrong way round.Cos its a straight spoke wheel this doesn't have the problems of a curved spoke wheel.After many many wheelies my front wheel has held up just fine Ok, wheel in the forks....... use one KR1 disc on the left hand side with the KR1 wheel spacer.On t'other side use the KR1 speedo drive or have a spacer made to the KR1 speedo drive dimensions. Cos the wheel is running 'backwards' you can't use the speedo drive to run a speedo now. I use a sigma bicycle speedo instead. You can use whatever caliper you fancy as you will need a mounting plate fabricating to hold one. I am using the left hand KR1 one which is plenty adequate

And thats it.Very easy really and the difference in the ride is incredible.Crazy lean angles and rear end slides on sticky rubber!!!!

Looks the business...The exhaust looks the part too...Did you fabricate your own link pipe?

[Gixergav]

The link pipe is the part of the Laser pro duro system.I just used a yoshi can instead

[pistonbroke]

Dont suppose you would want to sell the produro can? I have been looking for one for mine as my standard pipes are on their last legs

piostonbroke... what year is yer Dommie.....as I have my old cans an link pipes... I took them off as they were startin tae rust a bit,, I used a GRC can let me tell you.. using a can will transform your bike an give ye a little power.. it lets the engine breath better.........as you mentioned the wheels to me, i have sent you a PM but now reading this id be oh to willing to give ye my std cans if ye wanted them.. mines is a 99 a think all years would fit... but I do know after 96 they changed the design of the cans... maybe someone else will chuck in here..

Just thought i'd share a few closer pics of the mods of my bike whilst its in for the winter clean up. Just in case anyones interested in doing the conversion
This one shows the exhaust reducer i had made to fit the produro pipe to the Yoshi can



Even the kawasaki torque arm lines up and mounts perfectly to the honda mounting


The standard dommie linkage and shock is kept.All i had to do was make my own bars to join the swinger to the linkage


Which isn't hard as they are dead straight and in perfect alignment with the linkage and 'arm


Chain run works out spot on! Do you reckon the staff at honda and kawasaki go eating sushi together


I intend to replace the speedo drive with a nice neat alloy spacer soon


The brakes are good but could be better so i'm looking into fitting a 320mm disc from a zx9r and a 4 pot caliper

Just come across this topic, thought I'd have a look because Im not normally a fan of supermoto'd Dommies, but i think yours is the best Ive seen by a long way, dunno what it is, black bike black wheels and lots of shiny bits. From the photos it looks like a factory job.

You have my compliments sir!!!
