[Ep 17] 1986 BMW K100 Cafe Racer Project - Calm Shakedown Ride & Wash
Вставка
- Опубліковано 10 лют 2025
- No music or anything, Just a calm shakedown ride just to check if everything is all good with this bike. This was test number one, just a ride without leaving East Brooklyn in case it explodes and I gotta walk it back to base...What better test than to see if it'll make it to the car wash? Hell, even the wash itself was a test.

Fuel Pump: "ReEeEeEeEeEeEeEeEeEe..."
It took me two months to get mine to make that sound - wiring fail 😝
That fuel Pump is so annoying 🤭. Can you do something about it ?
@@pimmelpetra3229use the fuel relay… and connect it on the m unit
No workshop, no fancy machine tools, but yet the most enjoyable build i have watched...great looking bike and very absorbing build... great stuff!
Finally great to see it on the road! Man that pump is noisy!!! Sounds like a straight piped Subaru!
Right? I didn't expect the gopro to pick up the pump noise so much. Unequal length headers!
bro. you inspired me. I crashed my 2012 multistrada 1200S... everyone told me to scrap it. I instead bought it back, bought a frame that had a clean title and replaced the frame and all the broken plastics. Straightened the front fork tubes and triple clamps and I'm riding it now :D
That's impressive to do on a modern complicated bike....a finicky Ducati no less. Congrats, great job!
You should be so proud of yourself dude. Epic build and even more impressive given the facilities at your disposal. Great to see lady 6 on the road.
Congratulations, you built YOUR bike. 👍🍻💥💪
I love that it's on the road, and the sound is amazing. It sounds like a giant angry pig gargling mud through a tuba (in the best way possible, haha). Great work man, this is one of the best cafe racer builds I've seen
😂 I've heard alot of descriptions of this sound but this is by far the most imaginative lol
Man I have been watching for months and I can’t believe how close to done you finally are !
Please have a $20 with you next time you you take her out
I want to see you cruising with everything working outside of east Bronx
Great sound, and a solid build.
A+
Good Job! The engine sounds Great! Looks Good! I give you a ton of credit. Especially for a first build! Wow!
Thanks man
Dude. Just what to say this was one awesome series. Found your channel 3 days ago and viewed all brick episodes. Great work!
That sound! Great job dude! Love the build. Stay safe!!!
Awesome K bike, Great to see you out riding it. Love the sound of it. Hope mine will sound as good.
I was so happy to see her on the road! And love the licence plate.
I will admit I was shouting "indicators.. INDICATORS" (Blinkers to you)
Mine is waiting for parts to modify that long a** frame! But your videos have been absolutely vital to my build. I cannot thank you enough. I promise there will be an illestrator sticker somewhere!
Thanks man!
Wow The sense of accomplishment that comes with having a full built bike on the road after the long process and have had it in pieces must be great! I mean look at it! It runs like a dream Nice job buddy! you deserve that killer bike
Amazing dude, so great to see Lady Six stretch her legs!! Congrats on the new job and getting the bike on the road!
The bike legit looks like art. Lady 6 lives!
So awesome man! Love this whole build series, your video quality is through the roof. You deserve way more subscribers!
It's on the road!!! Excellent work!
Looks awesome man, even sleeker going down the road....make me one lol
Thanks!
The Subaru K100 CR
Only foolin’ 😄 - She sounds absolutely beautiful 👏🏼
Random.. but I purchased one of your stickers a year or so ago.. and I just slapped on on my baby girls carseat😂😂 it matches fire as hell!
That's the best use of my sticker that I know of lol
sounds sick bro. bet its a lot of fun!!!
Good job. I get an eargasm everytime i hear it revving
Proud of you man! Great work on the bike. It sounds amazing. Super inspiring. Really makes me want to get a project bike going as well. Feel like our generation doesnt have enough wrenching experience to be creative. P.s. I got the thick thighs as well and hear you! Thick thighs club for men!
And proud!
You should go for it, in my travels on UA-cam I've seen you in other project bike comments so I think you can pull aspects from your favorites.
That clutch engagement at revs sounds mean!
Finally! Bike sounds great.
I just "washed" my bike (CBR1100XX) in my living room, Meguiars waterless, she's been sitting for over 6mos over winter, still need to get my new grips on, bar ends, and cut down my rear plate holder before I need to drag her out tomorrow to go to the shop for a carb cleaning and install of my Factory Pro carb kit and 4° advance wheel, new filter and shit along with tuning for my exhaust change...I need to get on the ball lol
Love the exhaust tone 👌
Looks and sounds great!
IT SOUNDS AMAZING!
Dude, that looks awesome.
Good. You're not dead. Man rides a bare metal plate across Pothole City on a cold day and says, "Most uncomfy thing is this tank. Just so long as the parts don't fall off." There are hardasses and there are Hard Asses.
blinker... blinker... blinker... blinker... blinker... blinker... thank you
More footage! Wash porn! That's the stuff. That rear suspension is shockingly delicious. Ladies 1-through-5 must be *pissed* . There's a moment at 9:22 where the black rear hub is white with the suds and it just looks like a big PUMPED gun. Consider a color tweak?
But officer! I was doing zero mph!
I love the commitment the guy has to riding that bike knowing he sitting on bare ass, hard ass metal with no type of Cushing
I got some booty on me, so like I said, the seat is not an issue for a short to medium ride. The problem is actually the tank is too wide at the rear and digs my thighs.
@@Theillestrator1050 have that same problem on my 08 r1
This bike is cool as shit. Good job on the build, man.
These series are amazing, There are actually a lot of shows less good that are on netflix, Also love the bike!
Great job! Cool deal.
Many congrats.
damn, that bike looks awesome.
fantastic bike bro
Lookin' good man.
Sounds so good
I love your channel. I JUST bought an '86 k75c and I fear it's a p.o.s.. I bought it with the intention to turn it into a café racer like the ones ROA does. I need help because I have no idea what I'm doing😫
looks awesome!
Sounds great
One cool sounding bike.
Congrats on the job !!
The sound!!!!
Awesome man ! Just Awesome !
Oh Hell Yes!
Bro your dope man hands down
Awesome work, i'm glad you have been able to ride your bike.
Were are your gloves?
It's so important, think about them the next time.

I was wondering how it'd feel comfort wise with that handlebar setup. Have you seen those clip-one that have a big rise on them that brings 'em up over the triple tree? I feel like those would still look slick but give you more comfort. You could also try lowering the forks just enough to get the clip-ons up top. I for one will sacrifice looks for comfort any day. this thing looks slick though.
These clip ins are adjustable however I have installed them upside down for a clean look. I can flip them and make them rise 3 inches above the triple if I like. I can also mount them above the triple for even more effect. Im more likely to simply move them BACK toward me as I mentioned in the video because i want to preserve looks mostly. This is not my daily driver so i dont mind it being less comfortable... it'll never be as comfortable as my FZ anyway.
Sounds like an 80's V8 engine... CORVETTE C4 to be specific, not a bad thing.
I saw your avatar....I'd say your opinion is well informed lol
Glove man GLOVES!!!!!!! Anyways, those it feel any different? Faster? Smoother? Maybe the suspension feels different. How about doing a video about it? Any regrets?
This series made me get one, i got a 85 k100rs
Ayeeee, congratulations
Where’s the exhaust from? I really like the note
Sounds great 👍
Bruh how has your helmet breathing become iconic to me?😂😂
It's practically ASMR lol
Jezzzzzz thats a crazy bike
I wudnt mind that in my garage
😂
What kind of exhaust did you install? Sounds AMAZING!
She sounds sweet mate. Bet you cant wait to get out of the city with it?
I like this channel!
When are you going to ride the Harley again?
Bike sounds good asf 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
When you add some cushion to that seat it'll make your thighs sit different against the tank. Unless you want to leave it bare, finish the seat before you alter the tank might not be as bad as you think when it's done.
Great sound! Will you do a raw?
Yes I will in a few days or so
sounds great
Thank you! Unequal headers!
Nice! Sounds Hella Good Too!
Thank you!
Gratz man...might as well put some rusty nails sharp side up on that seat.that looks like some mid evil torture shit.bike is so fkn cool tho.. maybe u don't feel the pain.:)
What happened when your card got stolen at the gas station is that somebody had installed a card skimmer into the card slot of the gas pump.
You can use an app called skimmer scanner or you might be able to tell by tugging on the card slot cover
That's probably what happened. I dont trust it at all anymore...even if it looks legit. Only in dire circumstances will I swipe now.
@@Theillestrator1050 probably for the best
Hell yeah dude
🤟🏾
It dosent go boof bang bang on the overrun?
Not anymore! I've sorted out the air fuel almost perfectly. This is what it SHOULD run like.
You leave the seat like this?
I've since put a foam pad on it
It would by interesting to know the final weight. My K75 is about 520 but loses 100 as soon as it's moving,.
Same, I wonder how I would be able to get it weighed
@@Theillestrator1050 IDK, a couple of friends with rugged bath scales?
Bro that is a straight fact about using cards at gas stations, mofos buying shit in burbank CA and I've never been there.
Yeah, that deceleration engine breaking sound is mean. She pops
wait... i just watched episode 16
whats going on ?!
T R I P L E
Is it comfortable to ride??
Not as comfortable as a normal bike, but it's not my daily so im not trippin
Awesome been watching you since 10things you hate about your yzf6
Long time listener! Thanks for sticking around
Back to back what?!?!
new york!!!!!!!
MAYBE im crazy But!... its sounding like a inline 4
Stock version.
Um.. it is an inline 4!
boxer 4 count as inline 4s ?
@@DarkIzo i dont think so
It's an inline 4 guys 😆
Sounds like the car in the intro of L.A woman by the doors
One of the best driving songs ever!
Man, that gas station where you washed the bike was a real shit hole ! So much trash just laying around !
Welcome to east Brooklyn lol
u ever gonna show feet bro?
Cashapp me $9k plz
I'm a thick boy. 🤣
😂
"imma thicc boi"
Wear some gloves dude! - ahh you did...
Cool bike, BUT NO GLOVES AND SPEEDING.... SHAME ON YOU!
