Hi, my name is Mike and I am the proud new owner of a 1985 k100. Looks like it is the 73rd k100 made for the US with a 7/84 frame date.
It's decently maintained but the po just had the clocks rebuilt by a guy in Texas less than a month ago and the speedo doesnt work and the tach jumps around like a hamster on crack.

Im at work now but will post pics later. Got to change the brake fluid stat!

My speedometer was broken when I bought my K75S. I sent it to Overseas Speedometer in Austin, TX. They did a great job. http://www.speedometer.com/ (http://www.speedometer.com/)

Welcome!
I'm in the area too.
As for the speedo, gears can be had for around 50 dollars.

Its good to see more Chicagoans here! I probably ran into you at Mods and Rockers as I looked wistfully on the German bike section:)
The speedo was rebuilt by Automatic in late Feb. $325 and it does not work. Im going to run down the sensors and all the connections to see if the fault lies there. I dont think that would cause the tach needle to jump so much, right?
I rode it for a few minutes without a helmet (eek) and I hear a bit of a tap, going to check the valves, I come from Suzuki GS bikes so valve checks are routine for me.

Welcome and great to have another Chicagoland K100 on board. We are working on getting some of the local ancient Ks to ride together sometimes (to counter R-mania). I have offered occasional Sundays in Kenosha for late lunch at the Kenosha YC for a starting point. We are open to other ideas. Racin Rick is another motobricker K1100 who lives in the area. I have a 1985 K100Rs and my wife has a 1987 K75s. Looking forward to your photos. See you here and on the road. Good luck with your new (old) K.

Thanks Jaimito. Full moon I may hit up this Sunday morning. I work retail (Lowe's) so I don't get a lot of weekends off. I do try to make it to Kenosha as my mom and my sister both live there.
