Title: New guy from London Ohio
Post by: Elwood P Dowd on February 26, 2019, 07:17:11 PM

 Hello all, I just picked up my first BMW motorcycle. She's a 1985 K100ST with 75,000 miles on the clock. So far I'm still getting hre tuned up after sitting idle for 3 years but she doesn't run half bad.

Nice, looks like a survivor with a minimum of hillbilly "improvements"

Nice looking bike!  Gonna be a sweet long distance runner.  The miles have been kind to it so far.

Welcome, and great looking brick. The rear shock is really a nice touch. Euromotoelectric, Max BMW, and Motobins are your friends for parts. Good luck getting her back to the road.

 Unfortunately that rear shock needs rebuilt so I need to find someone that can do that since that company went out of business

It's worth calling Beemer Shop (831) 438-1100, as they work with suspensions and may be able to rebuild or point you in a good direction.
