New K rider from Spain
« on: January 21, 2016, 09:16:36 AM »
Hi everybody, I'm the proud new owner of a BMW '89 K1, as I already said I'm from Spain and probably one of the youngest K1 owners in Europe (I'm 28, almost the age of the bike  :yes ).
The engine its OK but the bike need some love, I will take apart all the fairings, do a complete liquids change including brake bleeding, forks rebuild and let the bike naked for the moment with a BMW round headlight, there are many fairing parts that are missing and I will find all with some time and restore all the bike, but right now I only want to ride as much as possible to find if the new lady has any leak or problem, to solve it.

Cheers!!

Welcome, and show us some pictures!

The K1 is a true collector's item (unlike most other K's), hope you restore yours.
