Beemuker, have you seen this one in Orlando?


maybe when it was first listed. low seat and I'm tall, though many vertically challenged brickers would probably trade seats.

I'd like to get another 75. Talked to the seller. Nice guy. Has sat for 4 years. Had fuel issues before it sat. Needs fuel system gone over, tires, brakes [leak somewhere] . 77K. If I was looking for another project I might bite, BUT, I just wanna ride and I think I'd rather get a well sortred one.

Do you still have the 1100 for sale? I have a 1987 K75S that I found does not have enough faring for me to hide behind, and we might work something out.

I have a red 92 non-ABS K75S that I brought back from the dead and refurb'd that I'll be selling soon.  It's up in NW Washington state though. 

It has real cruise control, an upgraded 50A alternator, LEDs in every light and a bunch of other stuff. I gave it a spline lube and have ridden it to the Bay Area and back twice without any issues so it's very reliable and needs nothing.

I took all of the bodywork off to clean and wax the frame.




Spline lube:

Once I had a Collie pup. Dug a hole and covered him up. Now I sit there by the hour. Waiting for a Collie-flower.

very nice. I'm getting older and need a bit more wind protection than the S provides. I had a really nice low mileage one but couldn't ever get the windscreen right. shorter, longer,plugs,  it didn't seem to matter, the wind buffeting was too annoying. I think it's partly the steep angle and the fact I'm tall. They are definitely lookers. I've got my R11 to ride 'till I find the right one. I wouldn't mind a trip to WA though. I made a lot of friends I wouldn't mind visiting in Tonasket and Oroville. Great riding there. Hardly any rain, lots of beautiful scenery , no traffic, and lots of twisties.
