Can someone help me with a picture of K1 controls left and right? Getting mixed signals online and it's looking like mine are hosed. I'm not going to be running blinkers but would like like a start button. I'm ok with minimal, stock or aftermarket controls depending on price.

So, just looking at this wheel:



Went out last night and its a 16" fat wheel. Is this another chopper byproduct? Anyone want these type of things?

Got some controls and new bucket from dave. Unfortunately the gauges are from a later model. Too bad cause they are in awesome shape. Anyway to mount them on the k1 or better to sell?

What stops you from mounting them on?  I am pretty sure the are all compatible, but I could be wrong.

I was feeling sorry for myself because I couldn't afford new bike boots, until I met a man with no legs.

So I said, "Hey mate, you haven't got any bike boots you don't need, do you?"

Those tires look ancient mate, they might look fine, but they could very well fall apart on your first ride, so best you budget for some new ones. The cheapest new tire is safer than the most expensive old tire. Cheers, Terry. ,D

Good advice Uncle T.   Last year, after getting one of my bikes running, I took it on a test ride.  On a hairpin turn, the front end slid a bit, I promptly went home and ordered tires, it's just not worth running old crap tires.
