Well the K1600GTL is dead. A 10"rock @ 20 mph and the front end exploded. Nothing left under the handle bars. YES this was an OUCH!!!!
SO Time to resurrect the 1100 (Would never sell it) for WeSTOC. It has been Parked since 2004 as I road the 1300 and K1600 . I did not think it would have been that long but time marches on. It had lots of OIL and WD40 but left it completely full of gas with Stabilizer and lifted off the ground. Bits and pieces have been lent out so now to replace them. Helibars were found on EBAY, crazylarry had a Audiovox still making my mind up about which heated grips to get, New Givi or old backrest??. Purchased Z6 tires to try them out, as the old ones are probably roughen. So now comes all new fluids. Timing belt, rear wheel bearings and pumpkin rebuild this winter. Here's hoping not to much lacquer from the old gas. (any hints?)
Wish me luck
