Hello!
I just picked up a 1985 K100RS with +90K miles on it. Everything looks fairly clean, but its been sitting for 3+ years and needs a good run through. Swapped out the filters, changed the oil, bled the breaks, cleaned the jets, and am about to change out the fuel pump. Hopefully that is the last hiccup to get her started.
Planning a cafe style. In the process of stripping the bike down now, but not getting too ahead of myself before getting the bike running, and making sure everything is in good condition before I polish a turd.
I live in Englewood Colorado. Work as a Project Manager in the construction industry. Outside of that I do a lot of fly fishing, a little wood working, some beer brewing, and a bit of hunting. Married, no kids, a hunting dog (German Shothair Pointer), and a lot of projects...
My previous bike was a 1983 Kawasaki KZ750LTD that I did a cafe build on. you can see that one here, https://kzrider.com/forum/11-projects/510572-83-kz750-ltd-cafe-project
Rode that one for a couple years, then sold it. I am a bit of a project guy, and although I could have done more to that bike, I felt it was at an ok spot, and sold it for the next project.
