Pulled off the ancient original grips and replaced 'em with some dual density gel progrips. So much nicer than the old hockey pucks. Also bought a bellypan and bracket for $20. Good deal! Can't wait to get it repainted and on the bike.

If you install the belly pan install a mudguard on the front fender. Your belly pan will thank you. Also, did you see my above post regarding your leaking front master cylinder? Replace the whole thing. If you try to rebuild it, it will almost certainly leak again. I know this from personal experience. In the long run you'll save time and money.

Thorough cleaning and changed oil and filter. I am about to ride Bernd to winter storage as the roads here soon will be slippery with ice, snow and sludge and the roads are about to get saltet. This last ride of the season goes to a friends place where he can stay dry and warm during the wet danish winter.
So i'm a little "down" because this first season as a brick owner has been great with many miles of spirited riding. Next time I will ride Bernd will be start of april next year.

I rode out to Mike (mw074 here on Motobrick) in Milford, MI and purchased this nice Russell Daylong seat from him. Drop him a message if you're looking for parts since he's reasonable and probably has what you're looking for. Great guy to chat and do business with.

Is that about a 1974 tii lurking in your garage?

good eye! it is a 1975 2002. sort of a tii..it has an 88 M3 engine in it. it is a full on track car i use when instructing driving schools. nothing under red is stock. suspension, drivetrain, brakes, interior, etc is all custom race stuff.

(apologize for the bimmer diversion in a beemer forum)

Awesome! 40 years ago friend of mine had a 72 '02 and would routinely blow my Triumphs, MG's and Fiats into the weeds. Car was way ahead of anything in it's class.

On one of my last rides of the year, I got my K75 up to 100 mph x 7250 rpm in 5th gear with 15-20 mph cross/head winds.

Changed the brake pads, pulled the forks and drained in prep for new fork oil on the S. Changed the oil and filter on the RT and took her out to put on 120 miles. At 71,000 miles the RT just keeps running smoother.

Yesterday, calibrated the speedo, replaced a bulb and did the 12 hour mod to the S brick's cluster. Winter is getting closer, I'm spending more time with a wrench than with the throttle these days.

Its good to have some downtime Gryph, lets a guy do those yearly maintenance items.

The Mighty Gryphon · « **Reply #1686 on:** November 08, 2015, 09:44:35 PM »

With three bricks in the garage now, I figure I'll be busy out there until mid January. The best part is that it seems this is the only time I need to work on them. The rest of the year I can just hit the start button and ride. These really are great machines.

Tuco · « **Reply #1687 on:** November 08, 2015, 09:52:09 PM »

I'm doing my yearly maintenance on my LT, riding my bitsa '82 Yam XT550 for the meantime. I go crazy if I don't ride even to the grocery store every few days.

I got the Ural to ride through the winter. Sometimes I wish it was as bulletproof as the K, but tinkering with it is half the fun.

I was reading a review on some heated gloves, Gerbing I think. A dude said he's in Alaska and rides his Ural when it's -47f and the gloves were still warm...that's pretty F-ing cold

Stripped the bodywork off bike for repaint. Relocated driving light relay to relay box. Started cleaning up engine.

Polished the plug cover for more speed, early K100RS. Can barely hang on to this torque monster.

Here's a closer look. [img][img]

That looks good but I respectfully disagree...everyone knows that red is the fastest color

Tuco · « **Reply #1694 on:** November 09, 2015, 07:06:48 PM »

Mine is titanium so its even faster!

Nine80seven · « **Reply #1695 on:** November 09, 2015, 07:32:43 PM »

But it's got a Fox twin clicker on the other side.

K1300S · « **Reply #1696 on:** November 09, 2015, 07:34:26 PM »

That has to be worth 5hp! Add two more if you paint the tops of the letters on it a contrasting color!

Tuco · « **Reply #1697 on:** November 09, 2015, 07:36:19 PM »

mine added so much power I had to add posi-traction

Is that because your grips are made of banana peels?

Nine80seven · « **Reply #1699 on:** November 09, 2015, 08:03:03 PM »

Bicycle wrap. Bigger wrap better for old hands. Also helps kill vibes. Vintage rules, '84 is new. Maybe the last great design? Brick on dudes.
