I have finally installed the "John Backer" wheel pants on my KR-2S. However, I do still need to fair in the leg and cover the area over the brake which will probably add a couple of more mph. This morning at day break, I made the first test flight. As you can see, the main pants are not painted. I have been flying with just the nose wheel pant for a year. The nose wheel pant alone gave me an additional 6 MPH. The main pants added another 10 MPH to the overall picture. At wide open throttle at 3000', altimeter setting at 30.27, outside air temp at 9°C, and indicating 154 MPH, gave me a true airspeed of 160 MPH. Why I did not add the wheel pants a lot sooner is beyond me. This is the fastest my KR has flown straight and level and I am loving it.

This is the very simple bracket I made. The material is .080 x 2" 6061-T6 aluminum. Bends were made to clear the caliper and brake lines. The two lug anchor nuts are 10-32 thread and held on the bracket with 3/32" rivets.

The following photos show the painted end results.
