The time has come to sell one of the K’s, I love the idea of keeping both but realistically unless I consider it as a long term risk reduction for the other K, it should go.
Before that though, I’d like to have the valves checked for the next owner. Can anyone recommend a workshop who will do the work at a reasonable rate, in the Midlands?

Hello - some may recall the thread last year from me on my noisy bike, I replaced the headers and now have the old set taking up space. Bike is running well, still think it’s “better” than its low mileage sibling that lives beside it in the garage.
Anyhoo, headers need to be gone, was some interest and discussion on the original thread about welding them, or not. May be useful as a a template in case anyone was minded to have some new headers fabricated.
If anyone is interested let me know and we can sort postage or collection. Will hold them for another week before they go to recycling.

New thread on my noisy K reported on as “shrapnel and codes” - happy to report it is back together and on the road. Replaced exhaust and refurbed the rad. Only a short run first time out but feels strong and as good to ride as always. Weather depending will take it out for a good long run this weekend and see how it goes.

All being well - may have to make the call to sell per original plan or keep as a useful but  probably a donor bike for the low miler….

Will post a note after the ride and share the joy/despair for those who would like to know.

Happy new year to everyone.

I want to refurb the wheels on my K1300, I have seen mention of a few places, MCT for example. Thing is I don’t have a stand I can use to take the wheels off so will need to find someone other than a BMW dealer who would help with removal and keeping the bike while the wheels were away getting sorted.

So, would anyone in general vicinity of Warwickshire know of a friendly workshop who can help, and any recommendations on which wheel refurbisher will do a top job for me?

Advice gratefully received.
