New member from Europe
« on: October 24, 2019, 10:09:03 AM »
Good day to all of you!

Today I found your forum and I was very pleased to find an answer on a question I had about quite some time: the cold start. following the tips some of you gave are really working. So happy!

So, I decided to register. I am Dutch but live in Barcelona, Spain. Yeah, the region where the police beat the #$%* out of their own people...

But, the important part, the bike. I bought it some 3 years ago and although the previous owner called it "restored", it looked quite awful. After some work I have it like I want it, only after some 4 to 4 mufflers but I think I found them in reasonable shape. It is a K0 but it had some changes made. I decided to use the K2 gauges because I liked them more but I might change them back to get original. Also do I think that the original buddy may look better, what do you guys think?

Today it looks like this:




I think it is a lovely bike!

Welcome from a Scottish guy living in Boston, USA  8). Bike looks good and appears to be in good shape. How are the roads around Barcelona? Look pretty good in the photo.

cheers

Hi Andy,

Roads are okay, could be better though. But we have some nice mountains next to us for some great cruising.
Bike is in good shape, I still have some things in mind though, this winter could be the right moment:

Re-chrome the rims;
Change the buddy to OEM
Change the mufflers to OEM
I might want to change back the gauges to the original K0 models

Greetz from Barcelona!

Welcome from Texas!   The bike and Spain look great.

What is "buddy" that you want to change to OEM?
