Hi guys, this is my K a few months ago. I already changed a some small things. First was the seat which is a bit thicker now. :-) Actually there is a Nico-Bakker exhaust waiting in the garage to be mounted. Promise to keep you updated.

Cheers, Mike













This is the K with a selfmade exhaust but it was too loud.

Nice! Where do the panniers go?

... on the K75 i am planning to buy shortly. I didn't meet any lady who was willing to ride on a bike in last 15 years so i decided to cut the frame and what shall i say, NOW i found one.



Cheers, Mike

The K looks a real beast when it's undressed, all engine and little else.
Nice though

Hi guys,
this pic is from yesterday. Changes: seat, gas mask box (for rain suite) and Nico-Bakker exhaust. This exhaust is the shortest legal exhaust available in Germany (sadly we have restrictions for more or less each and every thing you want to put/ change on your bike/car in Germany).


Cheers, Mike

Hey Mike, how far forward do you lean on the bike? Just wondering about the mirrors located under the bars.
Go on, jump on and give us a look. You know you want to.

Hey Mike, what's in that tailpiece cylinder? Kräuterschnaps?

Just knew that was gonna be a german bike before I saw the reg plate.

Very nice.

That's a mean looking bike, Mike. Love it! Ken

Looks great i reckon, all it needs now is bigger rubber on the rear.
Where have you put your ignition switch(key) and what dash are you using?

Looks great! I think its a prime candidate for one of those speed7 covers for the throttle valve?

I'll bet you get lots of looks cruising around on that thing! It just lLOOKS WICKED! A wesome:-)

Hi Rossco, i don't lean far forward but i don't have my arms in the mirrors like before. It just needed some time to get used to look below the handlebar....

I will put my rain suit in there but Kräuterschnaps is a good idea. We have a very famous one here: Killepitsch

Hi, i drive 110/80 18 in front and 140/80 17 on the rear tire. As i still try to keep the 80's look i won't put a bigger rubber on the rear. The ignition switch is on the right panel, the dash is a ACE-254.

Haven't tried that one. My usual favourite when I can get friends to send it to me is this one:

Or the old Becherovka.
Love the bike! Looking good.

New pics:






The exhaust could be shorter but it is a Nico-Bakker (really rare) so I won't change. Maybe I will mount another exhaust but for the moment I am fine with this one.

Cheers

Mike

That muffler looks just like the old Darwin stubbies,,,dunno about the german stuff

Nico Bakker is Dutch stuff.
