New K convert from Cambridge
« on: April 16, 2014, 04:39:42 AM »
Recently sold my Honda Deauville and bought a 1990 K75S with 46k miles.  Reckon I have made a very good move.  Loved the delivery ride from Aberystwyth to Cambridge (225 miles), swooping through mid-Wales roads with plenty of smooth power.  I have just started partial retirement so will have plenty of time to tinker with the bike and this forum is definitely the best I have found for solid advice and lots of inspiration for what can be done with these fine pieces of engineering.

Welcome Ed,  The K75S is a wonderful machine that should continue to be an enjoyable ride for you.
You can't help someone who doesn't want to hear the answer.

You will have to tell us more about the re-vamp.  When it is back on the road, how about a ride somewhere?
