Can you put up some pics, sounds like a good score, the second bike would make a good project to change to your style, there is a wealth of info in this forum, enjoy

You got one good bike and one for spares at that price I'd be fairly happy.

Welcome.......you will enjoy the K. You did well with that buy and if the second one is running you have the makings of a good project. Good RS models seem to be getting harder to come by.

What to look for: fellow K owners like you meet here, they are all very helpful and like to meet up occasionally to swap bike and life stories. You will enjoy it.

Welcome mate
I'm tipping that it won't end up being a spares bike, but more a sister bike for every second day. Then you'll need to buy a spares bike,get one with a fairing, then you can have a wet weather bike, then you'll need a spares bike.......need I continue.
You should see some of the member's sheds.
