Hello!

Been looking at this forum over the past couple years, decided it was time to actually sign up and ask some questions!

I've got a 1991 BMW K100RS which I'm slowly converting over to a cafe racer. Love the old look, but have had it almost 7 years and only ride it around the town now instead of commuting so I'm ready for a change.

I'm here to learn more, get help, and talk through ideas.

Cheers,
Noam

hello Noam

love the k100 cafe racers and had one myself , just bought another K100 and thought dare to be different and keeping it standard , they are becoming a rare sight now a days and standard parts are very cheap in the UK , whole body panels inc fairing with lights £100 "left over from care race build" . strange but in germany these parts are expensive ? if you have a standard bike keep it standard and buy a project to chop up imo .

heres a example of whats happened in the UK , these have been for sale over two years (i know the owner) and he thought he would make a killing on the new trend for cafe race K100 and a K1 ? it did not work out well and i think may have been done to death now . he has four  BMW K1 special custom cafe racer tourer k100 k1100 choice of 4 | eBay

Welcome, check out my post “cafe’ or return to stock”
It was a difficult decision but i’m happy with the results.
Good luck with your project!
