Title: Newbie, N Stamford CT, 91K75RT, 50k miles- light service/body work-paint upgrade
Post by: Robcar29 on April 02, 2023, 09:32:57 PM

Thanks for bringing me in/on.  I'm in North Stamford CT.  Owned bike since 94. Runs great-looks "utlilized".  Looking to clean up, repair, modify, and revive bike at a reasonable price for bespoke projects.  No particular hurry outside of avoiding late spring/fall runs.   Any suggestions welcome.
Thanks, Rob

Welcome and I'm sure you'll have fun.

If you can figure out how (I've only been moderately successful), post some photographs of your bike, and outline what you have in mind. There are many threads on customization, if that's your thing, and many more on getting your 30 + year old bike looking new.

I lean towards unmolested, thinking that the engineers and designers had some great ideas but of course improvements are always somewhere within reach: I recently paid an enormous amount of money for a new rear shock for no reason that I can articulate with any coherence: I just felt like it.

(It was a Wilburs, and nearly 900 euros with shipping. One nice thing: very easy to install)

My K75 RT still has all of the fairing bits but there are a few minor cracks and scratches. I'd love to make it look new but am possibly not quite as talented or energetic as some of the other Flying Brickers on this site).

Best,  PMP
