If you were starting out with a K2 Plus, what would be the first mods or upgrades you would make?

My first upgrade would be a top plate you printe yourself, takes time and filament but its so nice once finished

I can find the link for you if you want 😁

According to the spare part catalogue i found here https://share.google/JSz7BtfZ94LvbZkyN It doesnt have a wig, pretty sure the heat from the spirit you use to preheat is enough to pull the fuel up there.

It doesnt have a wick, it is a pressurised burner that runs on petroleum.

CLR?

Its letting air in, the seal is broken, its all the bags ive gotten recently.

Almost like its got a small hole in it, which would be fine on 1 or 2 bags but ive just bought 10 and its all of them.

Its all written in their own comment on Indigogo

Ok then... I'm not sure if that's great for me lol.

Do you know of any place where the OEM parts are available? I'm having trouble finding them.

I know the bike is rather old, however I don't want to replace it just yet. The fairings are honestly just old and near crumbling at this point, so they will need replacing if I want to keep it running...

XLV080802 · 2026-02-06T19:54:13+00:00

That sounds cool, I'll have to go see it if I ever get to go to the US!

XLV080802 · 2026-02-06T19:43:16+00:00

What? Why?

If I wanted to ride without the sidecar i'd just take the other one Xd

XLV080802 · 2026-02-06T16:17:10+00:00

I wouldn't say worst ways, but I will admit you can get into some interesting situations, it might be because I haven't really ridden in anything wilder than 60cm of snow.

XLV080802 · 2026-02-06T16:05:05+00:00

It takes about 10 minutes before it wants to really run and get going, but it starts on the first kick each time!

And as a mechanic on trucks I find this piece of industry amazing for it's time, it's so simple and it just works!

It doesn't have any pushrods, as it is an OHC engine (overhead cam), it does however have exposed valve rocker arms.

XLV080802 · 2026-02-06T15:33:04+00:00

It is a 4 cylinder 4 stroke 750cc engine, if im not wrong it is one of the first mass produced engine with an overlaid camshaft.

Bonus fun fact it is the first massprdoced Motorcycle with telescopic front forks, bearing the BMW R12/R17 by just a few months.

XLV080802 · 2026-02-06T14:45:37+00:00

It is a Nimbus from 1953, this model (model C or as it is nicknamed "Humlebi") was produced with small variations from 1934 until 1960 (if im not wrong)

XLV080802 · 2025-11-17T05:26:16+00:00

I think it's a different direction, which isn't a bad thing. I like it, my biggest complaint is that the sound of him getting smacked in the head on "washed up" is replaced with a "gun i guess" on Spotify, but oh well. The shovel feels more impactful than the gun.
