Welcome Quzzy, and cool pics. You must ride with your hair on fire to bend the license plate ;) What is that small clear cylinder on the front fork tube? Cheers

The injector cover was made by CC Products in California. No longer being made. I have a brand new one for a K 100 if anyone is interested.

 They did make them for the K 75. However, I don't have one. They also are no longer being made but you might be able to turn one up. Here are pictures of one on my K 75.

Hi all,
a) the tube holds insurance "green card" obligatory to display in France (disapointing I know!)
b) Injector covers here https://www.motorworks.co.uk/vlive/Shop/Parts.php?T=5&NU=15&M=40&Ct=BA&SbCt=BA_15_40_BA_75
c) Knee pads are just paint (original colour before I added the orange) The gray is a chrysler jeep colour.
d) Yes to jack Daniels ;o)
e) Number plate, that was first ride with new plate and introduction to a new speed bump :o(

Thanks for the interest

Damn, love that paint job!  But I am imagining a big black road spray up your back if you get caught in the rain.

That is so regarding the rain, I have a rainguard (made from the corrugated plastic they use for signs) that is designed to clip into the rack at the rear. I ride in all weathers, but it rarely snows here ;o)

Greetings from Ontario, Canada. Nice looking bike, for sure. These bikes look beautiful stock and with the right conversion! Is that slogan on the tank Gaelic?? ;-) The French love those amber headlights, eh?

Hello Ontario!
Thanks for the compliment.
Actually having yellow headlights doesn't really happen anymore but It really makes you stand out if you are filtering or in heavy traffic. Plus I like to be different ;o)

The "Mutha Fokker" is a reference to Fokker a make of aircraft used by Germans in WW2 and this part of France was occupied by them. Also many German tourists come here or have holiday homes. So its a little bit edgy, and fun!

Ride Safe
