Hello everybody,
Thank you for a great forum and wealth of info, I stumbled across it yesterday and felt compelled to join up with others who have chosen the 'The Way of the K'. I'm a real fan of the build quality, efficiency and 'all-engine' look of these bikes!
I have just got my 1985 K100 on the road after a 2 year gap and am enjoying being back on two wheels again, despite it not running 100% yet. It starts OK and seems fine at lower speeds but top end it runs out of steam and stops accelerating at 85-90mph. I will be changing the fuel filter in the hope that it is clogged.
I also have a second K100 which has been raided for parts by me and my brother (who has a 1983 K100) but which I hope to make into a lowrider/streetfighter in the future.
I started off my biking career at 14 with a Honda C50 'step-thru' field bike and have had several different bikes over the 30 years that I've had a bike licence. I still have a 1976 Harley Superglide and a 1966 Triumph TR6SS both of which are unfortunately off the road at the moment.
I'm looking forward to reading more 'K-tech' here and hopefully contributing if I can help.
All the best,
Neeilix
