Been lurking here for awhile and thought maybe it was time to participate. I've owned three K's, one K1100Rs, one K1200RS and one K1200GT. I made a project out of the GT and did quite a lot of modifications (I'd post some photos, but it seems that K12's are not revered here). Been wanting to do another K bike project and have been looking for a suitable K75. Anyway, I hope to gain a lot more knowledge from all you fine folks and if the K75 project comes to fruition I'll start a thread.

Welcome Ted.
You have found the best source of information on 2-valve K-bikes.

If you've been lurking you know that there is a lot of information on typical problems that affect our favorite rides and I encourage you to search and follow the recommendations of those who have dealt with these.

If your intention is to modify your K75 project far beyond the stock setup the info may be limited.

Thanks for the welcome. So far, it seems like there is actually a lot of valuable information even for custom builds. Biggest problem I have is trying to remember where I found the information. Going to have to figure out a good way to save stuff that I think will be of value in the future.

Welcome Ted.

Good idea,  I should do that too,  will have to relearn how to save and make file.

I'm thinking copy the Clymer manual contents with the subheadings for the chapters would be a good way to find stuff back.

Thanks again gentlemen for the welcome.

Skunky, I will post a couple of photos on the link you provided.

daveson, Your idea about using the Clymer manual is interesting. I'll have to ponder that a little. Thanks.
