On ebay 
<http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-undrilled-Grumman-Tiger-Cheetah-laminated-fiberglass-landing-gear-leg-1-X-26-/261255232240?hash=item3cd4067af0&vxp=mtr>

These are from Fletch Air in Comfort, TX.  I've dealt with these guys before 
and found them to be decent people.  I bought the O-320 for my SuperCub there.  
They gave me two used Grumman Cheetah exhausts that I was able to modify to use 
as the exhaust on my SuperCub.  Very reasonably priced and good people to deal 
with.

It appears that these are old inventory that is in need of recertification to 
sell for use on a certificated aircraft.  But it should be some pretty good 
stuff for use on a KR.  And the price is right.  I was looking at one of the 
KRs at the gathering that had the cut down Grumman gear legs on it and was 
somewhat surprised at the stiffness of the gear as compared to my 30" Diehl 
legs.  I think I would be tempted to plain it down a bit more.
