After much thought I've decided to float a trial balloon and see if there might be any interest in my Mighty Red K from any of my OZ/Kiwi brethren. I'll be back home in OZ very soon and will place the bike for sale on the usual sites, but wanted to first toss it out there to
"All ya'll".
See the specs below. Many of you know the bike and the mods I've performed on it from my various posts and the wonderful roadtrips she and I have shared together. I've got a belly pan in 'white' without mounts and a set of K1100RS Marzocchi forks with a 17" front wheel, 305mm front discs and Conti tyre, as well. Plus many spare K parts too numerous to list.
It's a hard choice, but I'll be returning to Americaland for at least two more years for work at the end of October and it makes no sense to have it all Cosmolined up in a shed in Queensland for that length of time, though think of the classic status she'll have achieved by then!
I dunno what it's worth to anyone. I do know what it's worth to me; all that sweat equity and joy whilst working on her, and especially while rolling down some open road with nothing but sweet K buzzes emanating from her, and smiles on my face. It's a sad day.
Make a reasonable offer if you're interested. I'm pretty busy at work at the mo' so if I don't respond straight away gimme a little bit of time.
Cheers, mates.
