Hi everyone,
Although I have had 2 late-model flying bricks in the past ( a 1998 and 2002 K1200RS) these have long gone. Below , however, is my new "barn find" first generation K100 generously donated to my by the previous owner provided I get it back on the road.
It's an early 1983, non-ABS model with just 25,000 miles. It's all there but been in the former owners barn since 2008 (when it developed a fuel leak that is evident on the injector cover). First aim is to to an oily-rag restoration and just get it running. Once that is achieved I may then try and tackle the rusty frame but as this is my first re-commissioning of a non-runner the prospect of stripping down the frame is daunting!DSC_0003 by Ian Johnson, on Flickr" />
