Hello from Bedford NH
« on: November 06, 2023, 05:53:22 PM »
Glad to have found this forum.  New to K bikes but did own an R65 and various sportbikes over the years.  Just picked up a K75 from a guy who bought it from someone’s family after he passed.  No history and 83k miles.  Seems to run good and everything seems to work.  Just registered it today and will do some short rides for the next few weeks until it snows.  Then I’ll go through all the maintenance items.  Anyway, I’m excited this group exists - I’ve already found much info!l

Here’s some pics.  Took me a bit to figure out how to resize them.  A unique cow pic and riders club stickers on the tail in case anyone local to New England recognizes her.  Bought some S100 and am going to start cleaning today (pics are exactly as-bought).

Last pic.  I’ll need to learn how to put more than one pic in a post.

What you have there is a K75C, fconway. The C has a rear drum brake. It also had a lower handlebar but it was replaced with an RT touring high handlebar. The cowling around the headlight is desired by many but hard to get these days. You've got a special critter there!

Thanks Laitch!  Rode it 20 miles for the first time this morning going to work.  Controls (blinkers, etc) will take some getting used to but my first impression is that I really like it.
