What kind of colour is the BMW K100?
The colour is from a new range called ‘vibrance’. It is a nod to the BMW 1970’s colours, but with metal flake. I bought some bar end indicators off eBay to use in the frame holes.
How long did it take to put a BMW K100 together?
Put the bike together and added the headlight to preview the finished bike. After 6 days work, back into the wiring. This is a boring picture, but it is satisfying to get it right. Now have a waterproof quick release connector for easy seat removal. I later changed to a smaller, completely waterproof connector.

The weight loss was apparent from the first crank of throttle! It is a bit of a reach to the bars, but at 100km/h the weight comes off the wrists and it should be good for longer rides. I still have few things to do. The rear mud guard looks like it can be chopped into a small fly screen to cover the instrument wiring.
