Default Finally done it .......

About a year ago, I put up a post with grand plans for what I was going to do to my naked K8.

Just the usual -

Fork springs and oil
Braided hoses
Hugger
New can
Powder coated wheels and fork lowers
Brake seal kit

Well, the first part is done. I've drilled out the rusty bolt holding the oil cooler cover and replaced it with a neat little nut and bolt. And, errr, that's it.

However, I've got a Haynes manual and there's a front stand on the way, so the forks are coming off soon. Was so close to selling it, but just couldn't bring myself to do it.

Maybe this time next year I'll have before and after pics to share ....

It's a start, remember great oak trees grow from little acorns.




But it does take years.
