Title: New from Down East Maine
Post by: duc1b on March 10, 2018, 11:38:08 AM: Hi team,

I'm a long timer from Advrider who found this site while researching K75s. The information gleaned thus far has been outstanding. To all of you who share wisdom and advice so willingly, thank you.

I sold my '02 1150GS to a buddy in search of a project K75. During my hunt I ran into a very good man (Tom who used to manage the parts counter at Country Rode) who had already done the Scrambler Kit I had my eyes on (from Unit Garage - Marrakech Scrambler). He wound up selling me his completed project for a once in a lifetime deal, so my need for a project bike disappeared. Now I just need to keep my eyes and ears open and learn from the team.

Thanks for having me. I'm reminded of the guy who said he would never join a club that would admit him....Must be a lesson in there somewhere.

The brick:

That's an attractive rendition of a K75. May it take you everywhere you want to go.

I've been using these on my mountain bike:

Works good on this kind of trail:

Does this (https://www.unitgarage.com/gallery/kit_marrakesh_k75/k100) look familiar? Like duc1b indicated, it was a kit build. He just eliminated the build part and went straight to the pay-and-ride. :giggles

Post by: duc1b on March 25, 2018, 01:10:25 PM: Like I said earlier, the builder made me a deal that didn't make sense to pass on. I could not have done what he provided (K75, kit, ABS upgrade, new rubber, forks upgrade) for the 6k he asked. This is one of the simpler no-brainer decisions I've ever had (the kind I like).

Right now I'm just waiting for a break in the weather so I can get out to Rochester and ride it home.
