A little news....when I bought the K100RT.......it came with a 1984 K100RS attached......it just never got back on the road.
But now I have added a running K100RS.
But this one is 1983 [not 84 as I thought], has lived with its owner for 16 years, owner before that bought it as a year old bike, its done 7,000 miles in that time, has an old Cork reg and original black and silver number plate which I am very sentimental about as I have seen it on the road, €26 a year road tax and just been told €40 to insure. It needs tank leak fixed, new fuel lines, full brakes overhaul of calipers/mc/reservoirs, it has the push in fuel cap, still has the original slotted rear disc and will get a new seat. What I really mean is I will swap over the purpose made seat from the K100RT whenever it goes out, the one on it is perfect. I have most of the stuff needed to get it sorted.
More important, it has given me incentive to sort my shed out.
No it won't be a café.....its staying original and may well leave that rear disc on it. They were recalled for solid discs due to cracking but a close watch will keep that in check.
Work has intervened a bit so maybe looking for a few parts as I would like to take it to the classic New Years Day run since it has original local plates.
