Hi everyone,

A quick intro. I used to have a used to have a white/blue K2 about 9 years ago but when my eldest daughter was born we needed a second car so I had to unfortunately sell the bike to fund that, however when I bought mine my late father bought his K3 in Blue. When my father passed away 3 years ago I got his bike and it has sat in my garage ever since always with a promise to get it back on the road but something always got in the way financially.

This year, however this is going to change. I have started to strip the bike down and identify what needs to be replaced like the headlight after the owner prior to my dad appears to have dinged the headlight. The exhaust is the standard exhaust but the chrome has a bit of rust on it so I am going to try and clean that up with a view of replacing the exhaust in the future. The main jobs will be to change the fork seals and oil, change engine oil and filter. Remove the lacquer from things like the footrest hangers, headlight brackets, magneto cover & lower fork legs etc and then polish them up. I am also planning on re-painting the bike white/blue as I much prefer that colour scheme.

It might take me all this year to get it finished to the standard that I want but it will be worth it to get it back on the road and enjoy it again.

Please Bear with me if I ask silly questions on the forum as I find my way around he bike

Welcome 

I have a 8 year old daughter enjoying the pillion seat of my 14.

All I get is thumbs ups when revs go up and giggles when doing extra rounds on the roundabouts.

Thanks for the welcome. I'm looking forward to getting my two daughters out on it at some point

Gidday PaulR5604, welcome aboard.   

Despite what Seth says, there are no silly questions, so ask whatever you need.  There's lots of help in the 'Stickies' and 'Tech tips' in the various sections as well.
