Newbie Here
« on: September 03, 2017, 03:00:31 PM »
Hi,


Steve Heywood here and Just got my hands on a nice sub 18,000 mile Scrambler fresh out of a build and will be picking the site's brains for advice in the coming months


Based in Hawarden near Chester UK and a time served motor mechanic (though off the tools for years) so looking forward to getting to know the bike with your help


I already need a fix for a neutral light that comes on intermittently with the Koso speedo but I'll sort that eventually

I did consider selling the K100 as I don't really have space for her and my CB650 Cafe Racer but once a potential sale fell through I decided to keep her...


She is far too good to let go  :clap:

Here is a picture of the other bike I have which is the result of a £12k build by a Rolls Royce engineer with OCD if anybody in the UK knows a potential buyer:

Welcome, Steve!
You'll work out adding images from reading this.
You won't be able to delete posts until you reach an unspecified post count so instead, look over what you write before you post it.
Donating is generous but not needed for posting images.

Welcome.  Nice color blue, and if you're going to mod a k bike, I like the scrambler approach as opposed to a cafe racer.  Especially with a K75 as it's a bit lighter.  It's not so much that I don't like cafe racers, it's just that I don't like the comfort of clip ons and rear sets.  Enjoy your "new" bike.
