K75S On The Road Again
« on: April 22, 2020, 01:38:32 AM »
Just wanted to try posting a couple pictures of my new '87 K75S. It was sitting for years in a garage, but still had current plates. I swapped the pump and sender unit and she came to life. Then the harness plug to those was next (thanks Johnny). Then it was just emblems and a couple clips and of course a new battery. Oh and I had a fresher front Metzeler in the right size so I threw that on. Really happy with the bike. Extra credit if you can identify any bikes in the background.

Looks great!  How many miles?  Looks like the seat had been customized?

almost looks like it just rolled off the showroom floor.  Not bad for a 33 year old bike 112350

Same color and model as mine - but less scratches and fading.

  • Not too many bikes. Garage too small.

Nice K75.  I'm guessing a Passport too?

Honda CT-90 (?)

Congrats on the find, great looking K/S, body looks in great shape and paint still has the glow so no oxidation.
