ok, just picked up a K100LT.  It's an '87 with 42K miles, paid $1800.  So far I've put on new tires (Metzler Sportek Klassik), new front brake pads (Semi-Sintered), had a local hose shop fabricate new ss brake lines front and rear for $120, flushed the brake fluid, replaced the torn rubber cup at the rear of the transmission (what a mess!) and adjusted the clutch, changed the air filter, purchased all necessary parts for oil/filter change, final drive fluid change, transmission fluid change including new sight glass, coolant change.  That will hopefully happen this weekend.  Have set up the powerlet on the dash to charge my cellphone, removed the PO's CB Radio, purchased aftermarket bag liners off of ebay, ordered new keys from motokeys.com using the codes from PO.  Purchased crankcase breather hose, will replace fuel hoses using gates lines as well as the fuel filter, will lube the final drive splines.  Replaced grips and headlight bulb.  Should then be up to snuff.  Pic attached

Yeah it's worth it to get all that stuff out of the way and not have to worry about it or have issues to troubleshoot related to that stuff
