Hello group,

Mathew Hinton here, former RM who's just bought a £300 BMW K75 with aspirations of building a cafe racer. I have little to no mechanical experience and this is my first motorbike project. I have set up an Instagram profile to track my progress, up and downs to be included.

I live in Cardiff with my family with a new born on the way in Jan  

Kr,

Mat

Welcome Mat

WELCOME MAT,remember the 5 Ps make a list as you go and loads of photos.Number all things as you go,have fun

Hi Mat,
Glad you went for it. You won’t regret it.
Cheers, Stu

Hello and welcome. Three hundred quid is bottom end for any K, so it sounds a great project. Did you buy it as an unfinished project? pics would be great - you'll be bombarded with advice. Ignore any that comes from some halfwit who seems to have hacked my account
