Do it the easy way, set the date, throw some trash in, and fire the flux capacitor! Collecting SSI, terrorizing any errant bunny that runs onto the roadway, and still using paper directions taped to the tank. Stay young my friend, vigorous, and lusty.

I'm Currently 19, Ive found my '86 K75 motobrick ABANDONED in the woods when I was 18. It was stripped down to just wheels, frame, engine, ECU, and that was basically it, I managed to contact the 9th registered owner of the bike and got the bill of sale for free (the 10th and final one never registered it and rode using bogus plates, presumably abandoned it later on). I joined this forum to get a bit of insider knowledge on the platform to eventually rebuild it. Just waiting on some money, but I've already unseized the engine after approximately 6 years of sitting in the woods, had the block honed and dismantled the bike into all its individual components until I have enough new parts to rebuild it into a cafe racer. But maybe introducing some forced induction to it is peaking my interest...

They simply ball honed it to clean it up and did some head work for valves since the engine had lost compression in cylinder 1. The nikasil should be alright.
