[QUOTE="kipmax, post: 156181, member: 24680"] I have an E1 model SR (Japanese domestic, street leagal model 89', with conventional forks). The SR model here in Japan has a longer subframe, extending to the end of the rear fender. The silencer (rear box, hehe) uses part of this subframe for its rearward mount. The "R" model (racer) subframe ends just beyond the seat mounting bolts. See the [URL=http://www.buykawasaki.com/site/home/default.asp?Site=Accessory&intCatalogID=1&CatalogTypeID=4&ProductTypeID=42] Parts Diagram[/URL] for the "R" model. In order to mount the "R" model stock or aftermarket silencer to your "SR", you will have to modify the mounting positions or make an adapter plate (cheesy fix). If you don't have need of a spark arrestor, you can make a fairly good silencer out of your stock "SR" unit like I did. Simply cut off the end cap and remove the stock barrier... err, silencer core shorten the body to desired length and then make a new straight through core out of punched steel sheet (roll it on a piece of pipe and tac-weld it). Remove the stock joining pipe (the piece the connects to the expansion chamber) from the canister and attach your new core. Reattach the canister, pack it with fiberglass and attach the end cap with rivits. There is a small pipe on the end cap that you should fit into your new punched steel core. I cut off the external portion of this pipe and made it look like a FMF silencer (sticker was a gift from a friend :) ) Here are some snaps of what it will look like. Yeah, I know I should have polished it up for the pic... [IMG]http://www.eikaiwamax.com/bike/DSC01159.JPG[/IMG] [IMG]http://www.eikaiwamax.com/bike/DSC01160.JPG[/IMG] Other info... The main differences between the "SR" and the "R" KDX "-E" series that I am aware of are the SR has... Longer sub frame, Key/switch mount under seat, handlebar lock. Steel fuel tank. Wider ratio transmission (need to confirm) Softer springs and valving (fork inner tube and damper rods are different on the 89' conventional forks as well) Smaller carb (28mm) Smaller airbox and manifold. Different porting Different head Oil injection pump with reservoir tank under fuel tank. Lower cut seat. I just bought an E1 "R" model through the Japanese Yahoo auction and am waiting to pick it up :) I will be converting my SR to R specs as soon as I get it [/QUOTE]
