Welcome - I have a K6 and I just love it.  I have "Antares Red".  My engine is gonna see some "warming" over the winter and I have new HM341 pipes yet installed.  I am cranked. 

Bring on the questions.  This forum has made me my life with bikes so much more fun.  The folks here are the most intriguing gaggle of pedantics to which I've had the pleasure of being exposed.  I often read with a stupefied glare (and a grin). 

Enjoy!

if you put them in via additional options attach mode.....they must meet the size requirements....otherwise use flicker or photobucket and insert the url between the brackets you get when you click on the insert photo icon above the emotioncons. The pics will be larger that way.   good luck

Never been called a "pandantic"? before.  Guess that's a good thing.  Anyways welcome for the forum.  750 SOHC is a terrific bike.  Enjoy it.

Probably passing through Mason City on my road trip, but gotta make it a few hundred miles south before the day is done.  Welcome.  These 750's aren't bullet proof, but they're pretty good at repelling stupid.  Just ask me.

Hey from Ames/Lake Mills.  What are your plans for the bike?  Planning on keeping the long forks?
