KLP lately/Maico Alpha

[karl Landrus]

For anyone interested what is happening lately at KLP I just finished a 5 tank
build for the Motoconcepts Yamaha Racing Team
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DfWE754B_Qc and I am almost complete with making
a new link system on the 1982 Maico Alpha that will totally transform that bike
into what I think will one of the premier bikes in that class... so hold on to
those Alphas and do not part them out just yet.

[Davey Crocket]

Cool tanks Karl......you've gotta love alloy tanks.

[RED ALERT]

Very nice work, would love an alloy CR480 tank.

[KTMaico]

Karl are you still making the LOP Swingarm for the Suzuki 125's? The one like Marty Moates had on his LOP Racer.

I still make the LOP Moates arm for the 125, have not had much demand for that arm though.

Cheers

Yes, nice work Karl. Karl what is your price and delivery time for a 84 or 89 Honda CR Coke Bottle
swingarm and do you do a swingarm for a 87 KX250. Are your items ready made or made to order
I've read on forums that your delivery times are rather slow.

[karl Landrus]

George, if anything is true about me "delivery time is slow" Is correct.  I am not slow because I am slow, I am slow because my stuff is in such high demand and I am the only person on the planet doing what I am doing in regards to Works Replica Items.  Nothing I do is on the shelf, it is all hand crafted personally by me, that takes time, some may call it slow.

[Davey Crocket]

I wouldnt call it slow Karl, all quality work takes time, I have the same problem with some of my customers, problem is when you tell them to take it to someone else they tend to calm down......most of the time there is no one else....its easy too cut corners and lower your standards, but anyone can do that.

Hey Karl

Great work again!!!

I have got two custom alloy swingarms and a custom alloy air box of Karl and all items were professionally made and fitted perfect.

Karl always returns emails and lets you know how your custom orders are going.

Keep up the great work and thanks for using you skills to help the VMX community.

I looking forward to getting a alloy tank and swingarm for my 83 Maico MC 490 spider made by KLP soon !

karl send the pic to me and ill put it up for you  [email protected]

[GEORGE]

Karl you didn't answer my questions, price, delivery times and swingarm for a 87 KX250. Maybe spend less time trying to

become a youtube star and spend more time in the workshop  . You don't have to many fans on cr500riders.com

It seems your no different to old mate from Back in The Day.

George,
  I am in the process of building my first 1989 KX 500 Works replica swing arm. Just trying to work out the bugs so I can give a better est. on price in about a month or so. Just send me an email then and I can better answer you on price.  [email protected]  On the super custom swing arms ie., HRC coke bottle and the KX that you mentioned I am running 2 to 3 months behind.  I am in the process of also building Works style HRC tanks circa 91 with air duct tube though. 1988 KX Works style alloy tank, 1988 Works style Yamaha tank and alloy/airbox subframe with Works style swing arm,  1979-80 Suzuki Works style tank  1980 Honda Works style tank. 

Cheers
Karl

Paul,
  Thanks for helping me out. I just wanted to show the new style swing arm I build. The one pictured I built for Bill Eyler.  It uses the 1981 brake system/backing plate, this is also the same style arm I will be using on the 1982 Alpha after I get the link system all up and running. The good news is my link system will also work with the stock Alpha arm.  Stage one will be new links and shock for about $700 then down the road a guy can buy and arm from me.  I am alway trying to carve out new markets out there.

Cheers
Karl

P.S. I also throw in my 1957 Maico Scramble just for for kicks
