I have a firm schedule to pick it up on August 7th. It is shaping up to follow the pattern of a 1992 R100RS that I bought a couple of years ago (also in Pennsylvania). It had 15,000 miles and was part of a collection. It had not been ridden in 18 years, so everything with grease or rubber in it was shot. It needed all new bearings and seals throughout.
Before I can feel comfortable putting miles on the K1100, I will need to give it the same level of maintenance (spline lube, full checkout of everything that comes off, steering head bearing service, fork overhauls, tires, valve stems, wheel bearings, oil sump removal and cleanout, radiator flush, valve adjustment, new brake hoses, etc.). One little problem though is that I have never laid wrenches on a K bike before. So, I have much to learn and have been reading up on the info here and elsewhere, along with the repair manuals.
Still unknown is whether I will retain or '86 the ABS system. Are there any services or inspections that I am missing?
