Welcome Rnboogie, what kind of weed are you growing on that RT ?

It might require special fumigation technique to get rid of it.
Two Ks, that's the way !

Welcome to the forum.
 Use the 100 for a dismantled parts sales bike.....Unless you have about $6000 and 4 months of labor to invest in restoring it, only to end up with a beautiful machine that's still only worth about $3000.

 Thee are a LOT of stories here of restros that started with a bike like yours and a heap of opptomism......but ended up needing a lot more than anticipated to bring them back!

Ask me how I know....LOL
Regards, Ibjman

Welcome Rnboogie.  Nice part of the world.  The grassy seat? I'd start with Roundup.

I have a mate in John O'Groats(Aussie ex-pat) who appears to have a K again but he's not talking about it.

Re: restoration costs, you restore them cause you like them not for the financial side.

Weeds on the seat?

That'll be the thistles.

Klingons on the starboard bow?

That'll be fellow forum fraternity always there to help.

One doesn't restore a K for financial gain.......but for pleasure.

Welcome to K bikes!!!!

 Hi, he won't be talking about it now; I bought the K75 from him just over a week ago.
