I’ll admit that when I first saw this bike, I didn’t click through the listing as I figured it had aftermarket bodywork after some sort of crash. But I’m glad I decided to look into it closer, as the owner of this bike since new is Jerry Finley, the owner of Pirate’s Lair, a K-bike parts specialty shop. Unfortunately, it looks like Jerry is having to stop riding due to health issues so this K1200S – which he has used as a display bike showcasing parts – needs a new home.
It’s got plenty of modifications, but I want to start with the cosmetics – turns out he had the bike painted the first week he owned it and had the wheels powdercoated to match. It has not been down.
Highlights of the modifications include a Corbin solo seat/lockable storage pod which was lowered and recovered by Sargent, PDM60 power module, the taillight from a BMW K1300S, Remus carbon fiber Hexacone exhaust, R&G sliders (forks/case/rear wheel), Dzus fastneers, Booster Plug, custom torque arm, and more. It’s got 43k miles and a full service history.
