Title: Greetings from Portland, Maine
Post by: macman on October 02, 2012, 07:06:24 PM

Hi...new proud owner of a 85 K100 w/ 16k miles. Just got new tires and fluids...a bit more to do this winter. Runs like a clock. I'll be needing some advice on replacing rubber bits and the steering bearings. Looking forward to a long time with this bike!

16k? You've got some catching up to do!  :deal:

With those low miles, depending upon how it's been stored some of the rubber bits may be OK.  One of the things that makes rubber deteriorate over time is lots of heat cycles so a low mile bike might not be that bad,

Also, I suspect you won't need to replace the steering head bearings.  Just clean out the old hardened grease and repack them with some fresh stuff.

And welcome to MB. :mbird
