Tim, your new race looks as notchy as your old race -- or is that last pic your old race?

Great pics, brought back fond memories....

TimTyler · « **Reply #1001 on:** September 25, 2013, 09:56:38 PM »

Yeah - That's the old race just before I removed it entirely.

Steering is buttery smooth now. Can't wait for some twisties.

After 10,800 miles I replaced my Michelin Pilot Activs with a set of Avon AM 26 Road Riders. My bike seems to love them!!!

Nice little 60 mile ride to warm the oil. :2thumbup:

Fresh oil & filter, new coolant and a new oil pressure sensor.

:clap:

Got a nice little score on eBay last week. "Set of bar ends off a 94 k1100rs missing one bolt" was the description. It's a breaker and he had lots of part for lots of bikes listed. I look at the picture and damn if they aren't throttlemiesters! I'm not sure the guy knew what they were. They sat on there for 2weeks.

Buy it now $27 including shipping. Made it here today. Need to go get a bolt for the left one but put the throttle one on and it works perfect. No more numb hands after an hour on the slab. :D

Took my stand assembly off for strip,clean and repaint/

Had some new Shinko TourMaster tires mounted by Don Daugherty at AllMotoTire today for $35.

He reluctantly put in .25 airsoft bb's per my request. 2oz in the rear, 1oz in the front.

I had to manipulate the hard brake line that loops over the front tire a bit so it would clear the wider rubber.

Today started stripping bike ready for repaint.Amazing how much space the panels take up when off the bike!

What color are you going to paint the bike?

drut · « **Reply #1009 on:** November 06, 2013, 12:36:10 PM »

"What color are you going to paint the bike?"

Hi:going to be Ford Frozen White with blue striping & black wheels.Would have liked to do original pearl but spraying in my garage 3 stage finish would probably pick up too much dust.

Tim, pardon my lack of knowledge but why put .25 airsoft bb's in your tires?
Inquiring minds want to know!

I don't want to put words in Tim's mouth, but perhaps it's some sort of 'self balancing' trick?

White is a great color for a K bike, one of my favorites. I have considered painting My K75 white or Ford's Screaming Yellow.

Took off the stock screen and put on my Parabellum screen for winter riding.

Spent today prepping panels for primer.

Painted the fork sliders on the '95 zombie K75 and did some touch-up on the brake lever assembly with Rustoleum black satin. Yes, I probably should disassemble the whole thing and do it right. No, I'm not going to disassemble the whole thing and do it right.

"Painted the fork sliders on the '95 zombie K75 and did some touch-up on the brake lever assembly with Rustoleum black satin"

Looks like you got a nicely finished result:looks like a match to original :2thumbup:

Motorhobo · « **Reply #1017 on:** November 19, 2013, 08:52:38 AM »

Today I replaced one of the original OEM spark plug wires with an aftermarket one I got from Beemer Boneyard, put the painted fork sliders on, cleaned up the axle, cleaned up all the front end bolts on the wire wheel, put on the Parabellum fairing and grip guards and rode! I can't believe how this bike has responded to all this attention...I can't remember it ever having run like this, even in the absence of an exhaust gasket which I plan to do in the next couple days.

Yeah -- I'm very happy with the Rustoleum black satin match. Here's the painted slider next to my other K75 which was garaged and in good shape before I got it so the original finish is pretty intact.

I don't know how it'll hold up but it sure looks good now!

Here's right end of the front axle before and after treatment with wire wheel and Flitz:

The only bummer in this whole thing has been the paint match I got from a Glasurit dealer...but that's the subject for a separate post.

Painted some more bits to add what I've already done,stripped out forks & wheels for painting.

roninvt · « **Reply #1019 on:** December 04, 2013, 06:34:52 PM »

My left heated grip burned out. Replaced both sides with Heat Demon and pro grip 719s.
Test ride for an hour or so at 34 degrees--toasty!!

johnny · « **Reply #1020 on:** December 04, 2013, 08:09:11 PM »

so the heat demons... are they the ones that slide inside the handlebars...

Hi Johnny, heat demon is symtecs powersport line. they make both innies and outies...their website steered me to outies....so I went with them. Also, I was thinking the handlebars would be quite a heatsink.

Replaced the duct between the air box and the throttles. What a PITA to do outside in the cold. I need to find a house with a heated garage.

drut · « **Reply #1024 on:** December 13, 2013, 01:33:29 PM »

Started building the bike back together.
