Selling my beloved K100, not because I don't love it, or that there's anything wrong with it, but I'm in dire fundraising mode right now.
53k miles, lots of recent maintenance and some upgrades. Starting to show its age cosmetically, but runs like the wind.
Recent work...
Spring 2010:
steering head bearings replaced (new)
front master cylinder replaced (reconditioned unit from the boneyard)
front rotors replaced (NOS, ebay)
throttle cable replaced (new)
fuel cap replaced (boneyard)
switchgear replaced (boneyard)
Summer 2011:
water/oil pump rebuilt (new seals and honed shaft)
clutch replaced (new)
main engine seal replaced (new)
transmission seal replaced (new)
rear fairing replaced (scored from Duck's shop in Seattle)
Tires replaced last year, about 50% condition... Dunlop 404's.
All fluids (FD, splines, trans, oil, and radiator) are recent, and I have a box of 5 filters sitting here for the oil. As noted in the other ad, I also have the original shock (Fox installed presently) and muffler (Supertrap in place). I have a pile of documentation on the bike, a second weathered windscreen, and removable passenger backrest for the Sargent seat.
It's the full RT fairing, excellent protection against weather, keeps your legs warm in cool riding conditions.
Paint is the dark green on the front half, the rear has been progressing to a rather nice application of matte black rattlecan, but looks nice imho.
I'm asking $2995, but I'm willing to compromise a little - I need to move it.
Known issues are limited to the funky speedo issue that plagues all old K's, and intermittent issues with the gear indicator. Also needs a new rear brake switch (the warning sensor light stays on because of this). Otherwise it's in perfect running order, and does (if I may say so) go like stink.

And I apologize that this first post is a "for sale", I didn't know about this forum until someone trying to help me move the bike linked it. Some may recognize me from ADVRider, and I'm also on K11OG.

smithy is a buddy of mine, and he ain't no geezer
I'm the geezer who suggested this site to him.
We've know each other since before he got his first BMW.
What smithy is is a guy who can take raw ores, fire a forge, smelt and pound, and craft you an edged weapon of fine quality. I love the little knife he made for me.

Everyone is an old geezer who comes from the old geezer site ;D Myself included.
Old Geezer is a reference to another on line gathering place for K owners, part of which name has the initials OG.

Thanks for the info robleyd. I am not familiar with that site.
I know the Special K site, and I am registered at ADV,
and I know another forum that i am registered at that specializes in the K100, and one that specializes in the K1200LT, but I haven't seen any reference to OG.
The Land of Enchantment BMW Riders club has quite a few Brick riders, many of whom are over 70, making me at 67 one of the younger riders.
But all I really know is that Bricks are good.

I would give you the name, but the bad word filter here would convert it to old geezer site :-) It has k11 in the name however.

I was wondering what happened there... ;D
And yeah, Shogs is gonna get my neck.
