Title: Nicely modified K
Post by: Muddy90 on August 31, 2015, 02:15:50 PM: I don't post here very often, more of a lurker, but I've just come across this K currently featured in the Bike Shed.

Take a look, is it not a thing of beauty.

Post by: TrueAce on September 22, 2015, 07:07:12 PM: That "muffler" sort of reminds me of an early VW muffler, into a can with outlet pipes......I think that is very clever for a K100! Do you suppose there's packing & baffles in there?

I hope so otherwise it would be un-rideable.

I'm not usually a big fan of "cafe racers" but this looks pretty good. One quibble is that there is not much area to carry stuff, but I guess if you are only going to a local cafe, you don't need any.
