Hi all,
Nice forum you have here. I have been a voyeur for a little while and I have finally decided to join in on the fun.
Last summer I purchased a 1985 K100RT that had been sitting for years. The bike had been backed into and knocked over onto its right side damaging the right fairing, brake lever, mirror, and right foot plate. I picked up the bike for very cheap, so the first thing I wanted to do was make sure it was running. Turns out it a a bad fuel pump, luckily the guy i bought it from gave me a whole box of parts and there happened to be an extra in there. The injectors were also clogged beyond repair so I got some new ones from Mr. Injector. By the time I got around to installing them my battery had died. Anyways, just got a new battery and it fired right up! The black gas tank that came on the bike also had some corrosion in the corner and thus there were some small pin leaks. Again, luckily there was an extra RED tank that came with the bike.
There are still a plethora of things to do to it, but I think she's a runner.
My eventual plan is to turn it into a naked K bike.
