That was my first ‘K’ series . February.83 naked and loved the style. BMW grilled around the radiator,magic. Came with a full Rickman touring fairing and a seat same as yours.
Awesome man! Thanks for watching! I built a K75 last year and that's what started my obsession with these old BMW's. I have been enjoying your video series on the electric bike build and look forward to seeing what you do with a K100! If you have any questions or want to chat just hit me up on Instagram. I'm typically more active on there.
Such a satisfying thing to do, taking the bike apart and knowing its going to great after a little while and some effort. Looking forward to the final episode👍
Appreciate it buddy! Taking the bike apart is always fun because you get to find all the hidden surprises from the work of the previous owners! Luckily with this bike everything was in pretty good shape other than the general maintenance items that are sometimes neglected.
alright mate, here we go... have been waiting for the project to start. good donor bike, quite something else than the regular r100 & r80 rt’s. not sure how the aftermarket looks like for engine parts, but I think the bmw’s are a good factory build anyway looking forward for the transformation
They way over complicated the electrical system on the K series bikes as compared to the the R series but overall they are pretty easy bikes to work on. Totally different feel compared to the airhead though. Much more aggressive in my opinion.
K100 is on my future list I'd love to see how you change I heard that K100 is not an easy bike to work on. And collaborating with the @jaxgarageau would be very interesting!!!
Love your work fellow Floridian! I just can't wait to see the final result on this bike, but I'm sure she'll come out beautiful based on what I saw on your previous project. It'll be nice to see the tank in a grayish blue tone (kinda like the r nine t), with a tanned leather seat!
Thanks for following along with the build! I've been making alot of progress cleaning up the old parts and ordering new things that need to be replaced. Hope to have some new videos out soon!
