BMW K100 Cafe Racer Complete Build Overview

Published 2023-10-28
Quite a few requests for this... so here is a quick overview of the entire 9 month build process. Roughly 1 minute from each of the 40 episodes I posted all condensed.

I had forgotten so much of this already! It was great to revisit all the memories when putting this together. Hope you enjoy!

PS - "Tony" the bike, is currently riding sweet!

    Wow, nice Job. I ride an older 2005 K1200s, totally stock, but love these cafe racers.

    Wise for you to have an extinguisher handy

    Holly shit.the amount of deductions and work you put in is mind-blowing. I got a k100 last week and i am absolutely afraid of doing even half of this modification. I am only going to give it a nice paint job new seat and lights and i really love to add some bell style velocity stacks if i can

    have you figured out the gas cable (throttle cable)? thanks.
  • Just watched this video! Amazing! Chatting to the viewers helps some of newbies. I have been wanting to build a Cafe racer for years. Especially a brick. Had to put it on hold while I moved my family from SA to Aus. I see you're from SA too. Would love to get in contact with some words of wisdom if you have capacity!

    Hat's off to you sir, what a wonderful rebuild. Not to be a troll, but had you thought of individual K&N airfilters instead of the original airbox?
  • @Bornamortezaei

    Hi mate, did it need LVV by any chance as you trim the rear part of the chassis please. I am super keen on Cafe racer but worried about LVV certification. Any pointers would be helpfull plz.
  • @DRIFT_SQ
    Awesome build men ! How can I contact you ? I have a question about your indicators wiring...
  • @williamc01
    what are the rules in NZ about shortening the rear of the frame? i am looking to do a café or bobber build but don't want to hit low volume cert issues. i figure if you change you front forks and that changes you calipers you will need cert for the brake modification, but just wasn't sure about after market rear subframes, or shortening frames and adding rear loops for under the seat.

    I have watched your complete series on this and have built my own K1100 Cafe Racer. Can I just say the most annoying thing throughout is your music. Its total crap and makes large parts of your vids un watchable. Having said that the work you have done is commendable. Drop the music dude.
