Hello, new to the forum and new to BMWs.
I just picked up a K75C at auction for a very reasonable price. It apparently has less than 10,000 kms on the odometer, which is hard to believe. The previous owner said it ran about two years ago but it's no longer registered for the roads (in Japan.)
I'm going to rehabilitate it and put it back on the road, maybe with a new coat of paint. I have some mechanical ability, but I will also rely on a specialist vintage BMW mechanic in Tokyo (Flat BMW) who is near me. I have a ton of questions but will take time to go through the information on the forum. I'm very much open to ideas/advice.
One of my main concerns is about suspension. I'm a large rider and the OEM stuff is old, so I'm planning new springs up front, and a whole new rear shock. Any guidance on that area would be welcome.
Let me share photos in the next post.
