I have just found this forum and this looks like the place I need to be. My History is that I originally owned a Black K100RS SE 1987 in 1989 but due to marraige etc it had to be sold. I then managed to get back in to K's 5 years ago beginning with a K100 RS 1989 (now sold) , then a K100RS SE 8V White 1989 (now sold) then a K100 RS SE Black 1987 and 2 years ago I managed to get a Black K1 1993. So now a proud owner of 2 K's. I am originally from Northern Ireland (Ardglass) but now resident in Dublin.

New Member 177912You've happened across a great resource for all matters "K" - you've obviously got a thing for the RS style but I think an old back injury will keep me riding the more upright LT for a while.

You'll find great help and a bit of banter on here and we have a few stalwarts from north of the border to keep us on our toes.

Hi Ringfad,

I wonder, I bought a black K100RSSE around that time (early '90s) when I was in Dublin. The guy was Simon, and the bike was registered in the north.

I subsequently registered it in the Republic (87 D ). I subsequently sold it as a damaged repairable when I was rear-ended.

It had a Motad exhaust, and a non-original carrier.

I wonder is it one of your SEs? There were only 150 of them (Black '87 RS SE) ever registered in the UK.
I always wondered what happened to that bike.
It is one of the two bikes that I am sorry I ever sold.

Regards,

Corkboy

Thanks for all the welcomes. To answer Corkboy that was my original K100 RS SE that you purchased. I have some old pictures of it somewhere so may send them to you. It took me a bit of time to get another one as good and I now also have also have a Motad exhaust fitted to it.

Welcome along Corkboy! Good to see another Irish member swelling the ranks.

Stick up your own intro, as is the custom on here, which gives access to downloads etc.

I've spoken to a couple of K bike owners from the north this year, a K100RS and K1200LT, and encouraged them to check out the forum.

I was in Dublin a few weeks ago on business, my first trip to Eire.

Unfortunately, I saw only the inside of the airport, the Radisson Blue and the office (well I did see some elephants, but that is another story)

Safe riding all, wish I could join you for the Xmas jaunt, but a bit of a long way from here.

Dan

I definitely must me another Irish eccentric as I was also looking at one of the bikes Corkboy mentioned in other post K100 16v (the cheaper one) and it is now at the side of my house. It does need a bit of work the front brake is sticking on, clutch either needs adjusted or replaced but structurally good and the same colour 670 as my K1 (Black with a hint of green). So now I will be spoilt for choice when I get to one of the runs.

Many thanks Guys. I have now managed to fit replacement LED's intothe Speedometer head on my K100RS, without the advice and guidance on this site I would have struggled. I did manage to pick up a wiring loom on ebay (for £4.99 Smile) which made testing it off the bike much easier and the circuit diagrams on the site helped for connecting power. Now if only the weather would improve in Ireland ......
