The injector cover was made by CC Products in California. No longer being made. I have a brand new one for a K 100 if anyone is interested.

Hey MW,

Any such that would fit a K75?
Title: Re: Bonjour
Post by: mw074 on April 16, 2020, 08:14:01 PM: They did make them for the K 75. However, I don't have one. They also are no longer being made but you might be able to turn one up. Here are pictures of one on my K 75.

Paul - tell us please about those cool gray tank knee pads.

Provenance? Materials? Cost? Etc. Etc.

Post by: Quzzy on April 17, 2020, 02:34:50 AM: Hi all,
a) the tube holds insurance "green card" obligatory to display in France (disapointing I know!)
b) Injector covers here https://www.motorworks.co.uk/vlive/Shop/Parts.php?T=5&NU=15&M=40&Ct=BA&SbCt=BA_15_40_BA_75
c) Knee pads are just paint (original colour before I added the orange) The gray is a chrysler jeep colour.
d) Yes to jack Daniels ;o)
e) Number plate, that was first ride with new plate and introduction to a new speed bump :o(

Thanks for the interest

Post by: herseyb on April 17, 2020, 11:21:26 AM: Damn, love that paint job! But I am imagining a big black road spray up your back if you get caught in the rain.
Title: Re: Bonjour
Post by: Quzzy on April 17, 2020, 11:57:34 AM: That is so regarding the rain, I have a rainguard (made from the corrugated plastic they use for signs) that is designed to clip into the rack at the rear. I ride in all weathers, but it rarely snows here ;o)

Post by: kris on April 19, 2020, 11:17:13 AM: Greetings from Ontario, Canada. Nice looking bike, for sure. These bikes look beautiful stock and with the right conversion! Is that slogan on the tank Gaelic?? ;-) The French love those amber headlights, eh?
Title: Re: Bonjour
Post by: Quzzy on April 19, 2020, 01:46:37 PM: Hello Ontario!
Thanks for the compliment.
Actually having yellow headlights doesn't really happen anymore but It really makes you stand out if you are filtering or in heavy traffic. Plus I like to be different ;o)

The "Mutha Fokker" is a reference to Fokker a make of aircraft used by Germans in WW2 and this part of France was occupied by them. Also many German tourists come here or have holiday homes. So its a little bit edgy, and fun!

Ride Safe
