I got on September a 1992 K75 RT. A former Swedish police bike, so technically in good condition, but not a near to restoration. So a perfect project base.
As an inspiration I found a Street Tracker built by Foundry MC in Spain.
Time will tell how it goes. I've never built up a motorcycle, alltough having some technical experience long time ago...
As a practice I merged old Sauna owen and wheelbarrow to smoker.
I started my project by removing all the fairings. The previous owner had a quite comprehensive service of the bike, with receipts, but some jobs still waited finishing, so I started with service.
So far I've got the wheels to powder coating, should get these ready next week.
Last weekend I continued with steering head bearing, which was good. So just cleaning with kerosine and new CRC Super Longterm MoS2 Grease. I also drained the fork oil and flushed the forks with kerosene. Today I'll change the springs to Progressive suspension and fill it up with Motul 7,5 W fork oil.
My bike has black forks, engine and final drive, but I still have to repaint valve and camshaft covers, since the fairing seals have scraped the paint away a little bit.
I've allready got the most of the parts I need. The biggest question is the fuel tank colour. I like the paint scheme of the Foundry bike, but at the moment I think the tank of my bike will be Mystic red metallic, with Alpine white center (the blue part of Foundry bike) and black stripe between. The paint shop have time just after christmas, so I still have 2 moths for changing my mind...
I will not use any mini led blinkers, headlights or bar end mirrors, but try to imagine, how a Street Tracker would have been in 90'ies.
