Pulled the K1 front end today and replaced it with another early front fork system thats naked. New fluid in the forks, seals dont leak, the unicorn triple was kept on so that the mileage matches anything i put on the motor once its running, stock ball bearings in the neck, new back tank rubber now the seat closes nicely, waiting on a new seat cover to show up....i didn't actually buy the cover plus the foam, decided to just try the cover and existing foam.
Got the new head light bucket on its looks good.
Thinking about taking the bike to the shop so i can polish out the swing arm, rims, spokes and for lowers all in one shot, install new tires....maybe have Phil do the tune up. Im not going to try starting this until the handle bars and switches are sorted out. My number 3 pipe wont tighten down at the exhaust clamp, the other three spacers allow the headers to bolt down nice and tight but not number 3, you can see its comes loose at the bottom too and slips out.
Edit: took the wheels off the k1 and up to the shop, removed the tires, deciding to hand polish both wheels and install new rubber, back onto the bike. I have to pull the wires through my 550 bars if i wanna use them on this for the pre drilled holes..I almost want to go back to some higher bars on this thing.
does anyone think the wheels on this k1 would look better on my black bike, and my black wheels on my black bike would look better on this k1...Im thinking the black rims will play nicely with the black stripe on the gold tank and the silver spokes will play off the motor well.
