New Member Introductions / Hello from West Sussex
« on: November 06, 2017, 10:45:26 PM »
Hello all.
Bought my first ever bike beginning of October. 1977 K3 550, though she's registered 1980. Frame numbers confirm 1977.
She came with a flat battery, a few rattles, a dented tank, a terrible paint job, a few oil leaks, shot suspension...but what did I care? It was love at first sight, and it was all going to be a breeze to sort out, right...?
She's been with my local mechanic since I got her home. New Hagons front and rear; swapped tank for original that came with her from previous owner; new cam chain; a few other little niggles discovered whilst engine was in bits; several new gaskets...but Im assured nothing major.
Side panels will be matched to the tank asap.
Hoping to get her back this week before I take my test on Friday, and hope to be legally on the road at some point over the weekend.
Very excited!! Looking forward to getting to know her, and you lot better.
