New member intro
« on: September 06, 2024, 07:36:25 PM »
Hi everyone,

This is my second K bike and first time on the forums. I have been riding for almost 50 years and have built a bunch of different types of bikes (attached picture of my Kevin Schwantz replica build) . My K100RS (attached picture) is almost finished and I just purchased a 1987 K75S (attached picture) that was in really rough shape to use as a travel bike so working on that. The K75S has a serious clunk in the rear end when I let out the clutch so will have to figure that out and splines are not looking great (or are some? see pics...any input welcomed  112350) but bike runs strong only 50k but I don't think maintenance was done. Last photo is my progress on the blue K75S so not very far along.

Welcome!  Judging by the photos, you do nice work.

Looks like you are going to be in the market for a drive shaft and a final drive in the not too distant future.

Just don't accelerate and those splines will be fine.  :popcorm
