I don't know much about the original bikes but I'm guessing it's now got pod filters?
In one of the photos it kind of looks like I can see one but its not clear so I'm not sure.

Also, I'm not convinced that the work will have improved the bike over standard and to me at least they e turned a not great looking bike, into a not great looking bike.
Err... well done I guess?

Got a mate with (I think it is anyway) a K75 and he loves that bike. He can fairly trap on with it also so there must be something good about em.
Never had a go so I'm not qualified to say what they rixe like.

I don't think they have. They're just trying to build something more interesting than the standard bike. I read the article though and there's not much in there on the builder's motivation.

I dunno why, but the flying bricks always seem way more interesting to me than a "normal" IL4 and it seems I'm not alone in that. I can't tell you why that is, it just is. Another bike from the same era just isn't err....the same!

Nope, article says it ain't. Partly cause it makes the bike less powerful but mostly for German MOT reasons.

Original airhead R twins had a 'fork'. Ks always had single-sided.

Monolever R's just had a tube with the bevel box bolted to the end.

They were later airheads, probably introduced after the K series.

Early G/S and the weird one, the ST? They had them before the K.
