I did this the day after I bought the bike. I'm making that same recommendation to you.

I was in the same position last year. Rode airheads for decades, then bought a low-miles 1985 K100RS. It was a big leap for me and I struggled for a while with the challenges of learning new wrenching tricks. Now all's well and I'm looking forward to some weather that will let me enjoy her again.
I'm battling cabin fever now, keeping sane by reading about what I can't at the moment ride :dunno

I bought my flying brick about one year ago. I was looking for a boxer or a brick, I did not care which. Now, I question if I still would want a boxer. Give yourself some time to get used to the differences between the two. You will love your new K brick.
