final drive does not seem to be leaking, i replaced the final drive oil recently, and havent seen any leaking since. splines were fairly worn when i removed final drive and drive shaft a few months ago to inspect, i replaced the drive shaft with a used drive shaft with less wear. will need to be dealt with more permanently eventually. runs well, starts up with no effort every time. tie down straps are because it was blown over by strong winds a while back and we recently had some strong winds forecast again. rear brake seems to be dragging very slightly, will probably need seals replaced eventually.
i fell on the bike while taking a right turn, without the bags on the bike a while back, at slow speed. that is what the scraping on the fairing is from. i believe the previous owner tipped the bike at low speed too, cause there are a few scratches on the fairing that indicate that. it is not perfect, but seems to be in as good condition (an being sold with as full disclosure) as any other k75 i have come across recently.
i'm really just trying to recuperate what i have spent on it so far, as i no longer have time or interest to ride. thanks for all the speculation and sleuthing, very entertaining. i should have let it go on longer, i'm curious what other weird assumptions you may have made about my life based on the photographs.
