Title: New-to-me '86 K75C - Minor repairs and cosmetics is all she needs!
Post by: roborider on March 21, 2018, 05:05:42 PM
I just bought an '86 K75C and it only needs cosmetic repairs!   A lucky find, since it's a two-owner with only 34K miles, new tires, new battery, just serviced and in great condition (except that I need to replace the fairing).   And a super bargain (steal).   :clap:


On my list of items to add/install:
Needs nothing mechanically, so other than the items above, will be ready to ride soon!    Will post more pics when finished.

Here are the "after" pics.   Looking good. I think!(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180411/3f2141c6d52588a5b71ec40eb6f83601.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180411/1f6d3726e4ba1b0f75bb29d44b6faa1f.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180411/8d19106e3a0b2aa92f8a3b0e677e8c7d.jpg)

Thats exactly like the K I have bought. Mine needed new tank internal, front headlight fairing, new fan and not sure what else as I am still picking my way through it all. Your a lucky man’

Here, in England, they seem to be all getting turned into cafe racers or scramblers...

Same happens over here. Cafe racers, scramblers and what not. Usually done using the same blue print, so they are getting more boring than nighttime telly coverage from the parliament.
