I have an "85" K100 and I really like the seat. I am aware that this particular seat is not intended for the 85 models but with your experience, do you think it possible for it to fit? I don't think there is much difference between the three years but the gas tank tab on the 85. Love your content BTW.
They replace the original gear and brake lever as well as the foot rests. These also come with upgraded BREMBO rear master brake cylinder. Overall just a lot more modern design than the ones that are originals on the k100
I see the quality control inspector stopped by for a sniff. A vital part of any team. Part of this process lost me, I couldn't see where you were going with the design, it was a radical transformation.

Looks like another great/awesome/spectacular/killer build by Bay City Restorations. Can’t wait to see the final product and hear the bike roar.
Appreciate it!!! Looking forward to getting this one finished up very soon!
It's looking great buddy, I can't wait to see how it looks with the new forks on!
Thanks Ben! Jas is doing quality control on the parts now and he will be sending them out soon so I can start reassembling the front end :)
That is looking awesome 👍🏻
Thanks man!
🔥🔥🔥
What length was your rear suspension?
how much of the rear seat frame did you cut off? and where did you get the seat to fit?
www.caferacerwebshop.com?ref=baycity you can get the seat and hoop from this website.

What's the specific tube size that you used? 28mm? Also, Is there a good place to purchase a rear hoop for a K series BMW?
The forks are from a 2005 cbr 1000. I don’t recall the exact size. You can buy frame hoops from cafe4racer.eu
Hi
Look great. Where is the Subframe from and What are the Measurements - Width? is it 22mm in diameter?
All the best
Hello they are sold from cafe4racer.eu
What do the rearsets do?
They replace the original gear and brake lever as well as the foot rests. These also come with upgraded BREMBO rear master brake cylinder. Overall just a lot more modern design than the ones that are originals on the k100
Are you going to start doing this for others? I know not for free.
When is the next part comming :) Keep up the good work :)
