Hello, Does anyone out there have the original spec for a 92 Kilauea? Just purchased one and want it as original as possible. Thanks

Very nice, time to get building.

Re: Minor_legend, I could not decide what colour to do it especially once presented with the ral colour chart (kid in a sweet shop) after viewing some samples thought I would keep it retro with the black forks and different colour frame. Kase1983 White would've defiantly spoilt it I agree...

Thanks randomdan, I've found him on Facebook and will send him a message. Cheers

What is it with konas and stuck seat posts, I bought a 93 lava dome and seat post was stuck solid,it took a week of oiling and heating to remove. Very nearly had the caustic soda trick. The guy I bought it off said I would never be able to remove it. Challenge set. What are your plans...

Re: Ok guys, Here you go frame, forks, handlebars and stem back from powder coating. Courtesy of bristol motorcycle powder coatings. Time to fit all those new and old parts. Any ideas where I can get some stickers?

Re: Wow, amazing job repairing the frame, I'd be well pleased with that. Love the old Skool konas, keep us up to date with picy's.

Re: Kona lava dome 1993 Lol no it didn't come with wd40. Took a week to remove, seat post was wrecked lots of heating and lubricating. Frame is a 18 inch.

Thought I'd share my latest project with you guys. Kona lava dome 1993 I Found it on ebay for £50 with the seat post stuck in the frame, ok for a 6ft7 rider, also some odd non genuine gear shifters fitted, pedal bearings u/s, lower headset bearing collapsed, freewheel seized and so on...
