Title: New K75s owner from Indy
Post by: oatmeal on November 01, 2017, 10:13:35 PM: Hi,

Long time K75 admirer and regular classified spectator finally happened upon a local bike. It spent most of its life in storage apparently. 25,000mi. It was partially disassembled by po for paint and maintenance. Excited to get it all together over the winter, and I expect it's going to be a keeper. It's joined a garage filled with an 05 Triumph Tiger, 00 Ducati 996s, 73 Guzzi Eldorado, and 89 Volvo 745t. I had one BMW back in the early 90's, an 83 r80g/s pd, and, yes, I wish I had kept it. Anyway, it's good to be here and I expect I'll learn a lot.

Maybe you'll get down to Bloomington and ride around the hills next spring.

Jaxon, I'll definitely be riding it around your neighborhood as soon as possible. It feels compact and light to me, perfect for southern Indiana roads.

You are at the right place for practical knowledge in all things classic K. Chances are it has been addressed in the past but there are always new ways of tackling problems and sources for parts.

Looks nice, be sure to take care of all the fluids and tires before hitting the road.
