So, I finally got around to doing a progress update video:





 I'm almost done with the foot controls, all I have to do is machine a new brake pedal, a return spring and adjustable stop, and a mounting plate for the master cylinder. I'm pretty happy with how they turned out.


I have all of the components for my handlebars, and soon I'll be ready to tackle some of the rewiring. I am relocating the battery as well as the relay box, and using a motogadget m-unit v2. It's going to be a pretty cool setup.


The main obstacle that I am up against currently is the mounting of the headlight. So far I haven't come up with any designs that I am happy with. I will probably try to work iteratively, getting something in place even if it isn't the final design will be pretty useful to working through the problem I think.

Check out this ridiculous youtube channel trailer I made for Project ApoKalypse, it's pretty rad





...and I'm going to give away a pair of the bar risers I made. It's entirely conceivable that I will get no entries from youtube, so I thought someone here might be interested. Click the title of the video to go to the youtube page and leave your links there

By rad, you mean radioactive?

What are your plans for the original bars Furni?
If they're wider than the ones on my K75C I'd sign up for that raffle!

They bar risers certainly look swell, even if you still need to mount it together with the originals.

Don, They are 27 inches wide. I don't know if that is wider than your k75 bars, but if you're interested I would happily sell them to you for cheap. Make me an offer and I will most likely accept it

Heres a right side up but backwards of my bars.
They might even be wider than yours allowing for the antivibration dongles inserted in the ends.
I'm looking for the bars that measure 27" before we start adding grips and bumper knobs.
What I want is to spread out my grip a bit. I'm use to wide bars.

Sounds like my bars are not going to be the right solution for you. The new handlebars that I installed are much wider than the stock ones were, maybe an aftermarket solution would work for you?

I believe you are correct. What I'd like to try is a set of K1 bars. Just an inch or so on each side with a bit more pullback.
Metric motocross bars might work,  I've got a set of thick walled aluminum Honda CR 250s on my Zundapp 601.
Fairly flat and low rise for eventual sidecar work. They measure 32" tip to tip on the surgical rubber Maguras.

Be sure to post up your castoff, salvage parts on the board.
Seems like half the folks here like to take their Ks apart while the other half are trying to put them back together!

Haha, I should have mentioned that the all time favorite list of Nancy Sinatra cover tunes begins and ends with the Megadeth version of "these boots"

Your welcome! I'll cover the shipping all I need from you is your shipping address. I hope you enjoy them, I'm going to ship them out with some black oxide socket head cap screws(all I had at the shop), but I recommend that you get some hardware that won't rust.[size=78%] [/size]

Thanks. You mean the speedo in the giveaway results video? It is the stock speedo on my 2015 ducati diavel. I did order this sweet motogadget tach/speedometer from revival cycles for project apoKalypse though, but they seem to be having some supply chain issues and it hasn't arrived yet.
