Hi all, Ive been here a while lurking in the background and figured its about time I posted some shots of what im attempting to ressurect!
As with everyone money is very tight at the moment and im quite time poor also, so this will be a slow moving build for the most part. Im trying to do as much as I can myself, both for financial reasons and also personal satisfaction.
My uncle had this bike given to him in the early 80's, as renumeration for a tenant that didnt pay his rent. It had been crashed, then parked in his shed. He bought a few bits and pieces to fix it up, which never happened. He passed away 13 years ago, at which point my father took the bike. He had all intentions of rebuilding it, and promptly stripped it down to a rolling frame. At this point he decided it was too hard and packed it away into boxes.
After a few years I realised nothing was happening with it, so I grabbed it and here we are.
The frame is a 72 k2, with a 75 engine. It has K3-K5 front forks, with twin discs on the front. Only one caliper came with the bike though.
