Stripped down, custom made BMW bikes hold a soft spot in my heart for no reason other than I love the look. I've never owned a BMW, and never will, but I love seeing other people build custom BMW choppers.
@@jerryx2000 It certainly is fun and a little lighter but I would be lying to say it’s fast haha. I’m sure a more experienced rider than myself could show its true potential.
What an awesome project you made, great memories with your family and friends, put in the work and dedication, you got a great result, I feel proud of you just watching this project unfold
I still have mine. A '68 Norton Atlas I restored back in '05... Kept it stock on the outside. I'm losing my snap-leg, and cosidering dished pistons. Nothing like screwing around with an old British twin, I always say.
What an incredible achievement Zach! An amazing effort to co-ordinate and also have so many people share in and help execute on your vision. Perhaps what many of us could one day hope to do ourselves. And how incredible to be able to share with and be guided by your father - treasure that, as I deeply miss my pops. I look forward to perhaps another beautiful build in the future. All the very best! 🙂
Thank you so much! I do my best to not take him for granted and cherish the time we spend together even when we aren’t on the same page with the vision haha. I’m looking forward to when I get some time for another build. I’ll keep your comment in mind if I get to share the experience with my family and friends again. Best to you as well.
I also have an k75 and i am looking forward to continue the tuning journey of this bike. Your video was amazing and all the help from your family and friends was heartwarming. Have a nice time and good greetings from germany. Eric
Man, this project is impressive! Congrats for the project and it is really emotional to have your dad involved. I hope one day have my kids and they share the same passion for bikes with me! Congrats bro!
That looks bloody mint mate, looks like it should be flying round the isle of man. What a transformation, it looks great guys well done looooove it👍🏴
The amount of time and customization you put into each part was inspiring! I kept thinking it would be finished but it just kept going until literally every piece of the bike was completely reworked and customized. And that choice of green is fantastic! It resembles Aston Martin.
Thank you so much! When I become a little more knowledgeable I’d like to play with the cooling system and get rid of the chunky air box. I’m glad you like the green as well. I was a bit on the fence about it.
Super glad I could shine some light on the K bike platform. You won’t regret it if you find yourself with one. Thank you for the comment and good luck with the next build!
Ehm, if you buy one, look for a police K75. I owned a military police K1100 and these government BMW's have more horsepower, AND the driveshaft ratio is different: you get more revs and that means power. Do not buy the civil bikes, these are tame, so to speak. They are!
Beautiful bike! Cafe bikes are the most aesthetic bikes IMO. Yours ranks up there with the professional builds I’ve seen on YT. Nice to see the whole family and friends involved in bringing this to life. Fantastic work!
im looking at buying my first bike, and seeing stuff like this makes me realize i can honestly get any bike to look like a naked bike (what i want) but just taking off the front shit. that makes my options for buying used much more broad lol
Yeah for sure. Just about any bike can look a little more aggressive with some stripping of the fairings and a few essential new parts like clip-ons and rear sets.
Hi buddy, good job with the build, you inspired me to do something similar on my motorcycle! Where can I get a similar single seat cowl? Hope to see more videos on this build for newer upgrades and tweaks!
Thank you! I got mine from cafe4racer. They have a decent amount to choose from. Mine is considered a “1.5 seater” even though realistically the back .5 will never be used. Let me know if you have trouble finding it.
Beautiful bike, needs some spoke wheels, that’s the only thing I’d do different. Looked like you and your family had a blast and created not just a amazing bike, but some great memories.
Agreed! I’m hoping to get some here eventually. Little bit limited on options with how thin the space is with the single swing in the back and exhaust hugging the other side. I appreciate the compliment!
Mannnn!!!just came across your UA-cam.amazing job!!!!it's a good looking bike and a great project you did!good job!!!I'm so impressed,I wouldn't be able to build one like that,can I just buy it off you instead?😅just kiddiing.great work man!from AUSTRALIA HERE.
Thank you so much! If I could make a career out of building and selling cafe racers I would, haha. Still have a lot to learn. Super cool to see the outreach!
When you put on the fiberglass for the pipes, soak them in water first, this wil make them easier to work with en when fixed and dry they will tighten up on the pipes, tip for the next project.

Thank you, it’s never too late to give them a shot haha. K bikes seem to hold up great, especially if you don’t abuse it’s design like I did.
@@zachstevenson5112 Well yours is GORGEOUS and you did a fantastic job.
@@michaelb.42112 Thank you, I appreciate it!
You can get your hands on some flash electricery on wheels these days. How fast do you want to go?
this got me emotional. Never Sell this Please!

I really appreciate that man. Thank you!
this is the purest form of love i've ever seen, never let that bike go, it's such a sweet ride, my dream bike
Thank you so much man. I’m really fortunate to have had the opportunity to work on it with my Dad and friends.
@@zachstevenson5112 yeah, cherish it ! all the best

Thank you! Building it with my friends is most of the fun. Good luck on the process. I hope to see it when you are done!
That bike is badass and something to be proud of. A lot can be done with good help from your friends!
Thank you man! I really appreciate that.
Wow, what a wonderful project!!! The bike was so ugly. Now it is a Dream! Best regards from Germany!
…and what a wonderfull family/friends project, unbeliveable!
Couldn’t agree more, haha. Thank you so much!
Ein fliegender Ziegelstein, wie schön. Klasse Naked Bike draus gemacht. Gefällt mir.
Thank you!
Man, this project is impressive! Congrats for the project and it is really emotional to have your dad involved. I hope one day have my kids and they share the same passion for bikes with me! Congrats bro!
Thanks man, I really appreciate that.
Gorgeous build, absolutely made me want to get one and do my own!
I appreciate it! I hope you do, they are great bikes and you can find a decent one for less than 3k.
You definitely got an eye for proportions! Love it!
Thank you! That’s a big compliment in the world of cafe bikes.
Looks absolutely stunning dude!!!
Thank you so much!
That looks bloody mint mate, looks like it should be flying round the isle of man.
What a transformation, it looks great guys well done looooove it👍🏴
Thank you brother! I really appreciate it.
what an beautiful frame, perfectly straight for a cafe racer project
Agreed! Thank you!
Great dedication you’ve shown there, amazing result. Well done young man 👍
Thank you very much!
Bro is the Flash of builds.
Such speed

when I see these videos I always think, what a crimeeeee such a beauty!
I can’t tell if this is a compliment or insult but thank you!
Your work is awesome but the bike is originally awesome as it is. Maybe a project to restore it as is
Thanks man. I respect your opinion.
An amazing build!! Love the way it came out.
Thank you!!
Watching you and the fam build a marvel like this was a delight. ✊🏻

Thanks man!
Beautiful Job !
Thank you!
sorry in advance, what do you mix to get the green demon color? can you make a tutorial?
Hey there! The color is called lime rock green. It is a Chevrolet color. If you have trouble finding it, I can try to get you more details.
Very good looking!
Thank you!
This is awesome. I found a 1985 K75 just a few miles away from me...Might have to try something similar.
Thank you! And go for it! With a little maintenance the engines are bulletproof.
I love it, congratulations, it turned out spectacular 🤩🤩👌👌
Thanks man!
So beautiful!
Thank you!
I've been on the hunt for my next bike build and this is unreal man! You did amazing! opened my eyes up to a K75 for sure.
Super glad I could shine some light on the K bike platform. You won’t regret it if you find yourself with one. Thank you for the comment and good luck with the next build!
