Hi from Brooklyn K100 forum. I've been riding a 1990 K75C for about a year now, painted a lovely deep purple from the previous owner. Has about 89k miles on it at this point (roughly 1000 of them me) but has been running great (except for a shorted relay and a snapped selector rod.) This is my first bike and while I'm fairly handy, I'm pretty mechanically green with cars and bikes. It's been fun to learn but a complete pain to work on your bike out on the street - goes with the territory.
The other day my biked ended up slouched against a neighboring car when I popped it off the center stand and wasn't paying attention to the grade of the street. Luckily no damage or marks on the car, but unfortunately my right handlebar control ended up rotated back towards me about 30 degrees. I thought it would be a situation where I could loosen a clamp to the handlebar and rotate it back, but it seems like I have to remove the throttle grip and then the controls instead? Will give that another try in the next couple of days and then make a dedicated post if I can't figure it out.
Anyway, hi to you all, and if anyone else is NYC based would be down for a ride! Once the handlebar gets sorted at least.
