New K75 Owner in Kyrgyzstan

Welcome -- no doubt you're aware you have the low-seat rather than the standard seat model...

Wondered about that but hadn't looked into it. Considering I think I now own the only K75 in Kyrgyzstan, I can't be too picky. Frankly the whole thing works together pretty well visually I think, especially since I removed the windshield (never liked windshields or fairings, personal taste).

Turns out front forks are not completely toast, just the fork seals, though I still have my doubts about the springs, so ordered the progressive springs for good measure.

Because your bike is exposed to a lot of dirt and dust. I would put heavy silicon grease under your dust cap and clean and replace it a couple times a year. The grease catches the dirt and helps stop the seal lip from being chopped out. Use it in conjunction with Johnny's Seal Mate homemade ( made out of an old soda bottle) or new off Ebay.

A cheap pair of Rancho RS1952 fork boots would fend off grit too. They also look cool, and you never know while living in Kyrgyzstan and leading people through a post-apocalyptic landscape and feasting on sheep eyeballs when you might need just a dash more of coolness to close the deal.

Between my enduros and my friends with enduros I'm sure I can find a set of black fork boots around here. All my other bikes have them.

For the record, sheep eyeballs are better than ears
