G'day from Duncan in Sydney, Australia...  I bought a 1985 K100RS recently as a "fixer-upper" - for all of $500.  Intention was to turn it into a cafe bike (sacrilege?), and I had lots of fun doing it.  

44 kgs of 'stuff' was removed…!  Tricky stuff was making the 4-1 collector box out of stainless, the f’glass seat pan/box (messy - lots of foam and plaster of paris for the plug and mould), and making the tail light/indicators from a bunch of red and amber LEDs.  I chopped the frame off behind the shock mount, and welded on a bracket for a small gel battery under the box.

After selling the excess parts, it stands me in at about $900, and one can't go wrong with that...  It goes like the clappers - great fun to ride!  I've always been a Ducati tragic (still have a few in the garage), but I'm rapidly becomg a K-convert...

looks good Duncan

welcome aboard

Nice lookin' bike Duncan,

If that cost you $900, then I am only too happy to give $1800! Can't ask for more than doubling your money.

There is some good looking cut Ks showing up and I gotta say I'm liking them more and more.

Welcome to the forum, this place is great.

Thanks for the welcome, and for the compliments!
I'd love to make it to the Koffee on the 16th, but unfort I'm being dragged along to Canberra to visit sis-in-law that weekend.

Keep going guys it's almost worKing. We will have a new Kpox case in no time.

 Kpox can come on real quick at times. hope you get well soon, and see you for Koffee.

Looks like your fuel cap is also fitted the wrong way (2nd one I've seen tonight). That way it blocks the water drain hole.

..or, if I'm not mistaken, you can drill the flange and make a new one (see Chris Harris video on Youtube for replacing cap seals for a good description of the issue.) but turning it is easier. Welcome Duncan-K
