Hello fellow flying brickers,
I'm fresh to this forum and wish I had known about it a couple of years ago. Better late than never I suppose. I've been checking out all of these resto, resto-mod, and full cafe conversion projects on the Project K-Bikes section and I can't get enough of it. The level of details on the work and knowledge of K-Bikes are unparalleled. This global community is so friendly, open, and eager to help. I also love all of the witty comments.
I purchased this very clean 93 K75 (22k miles) on a whim from a co-worker who had too many bikes in his garage. This is after not riding for 20+ yrs (4 knee surgeries, marriage, 3 kids..blah, blah, blah). At first, the bike really didn't appeal to me given that I was a former crotch rocket rider (Ninja/CBR). So I googled images of k-bikes and saw a few cafe style conversions and I was sold on it. I took the bike home (without consulting with the wife first, figuring I'd beg for forgiveness later). I told her I was going to covert it and sell it for a profit. Well, 2 yrs and thousand of dollars later and the bike is still in my garage and I'm being reminded of my deceit ever so often. I love this bike to death as it has been part of me for the past 2 yrs. I've made so many changes to it that my wife said I have ADD design. I named it after my fav Bruce Lee movie. I figured every bike needs a badass name.
I was a little apprehensive on posting this at first since there's so many good and professional level builds on this forum. I'm not a builder or a mechanic. Just a trial and error kind of guy that take the plunge into things. My bike is a little rough around the edges and is not as totally clean as some of these other projects. My only goal in posting this is to solicit feedback/critique (good and bad) from this respected community. I have thick skin, so no worries!
Thank you for your time in reading this (perhaps too wordy) and for your comments.
