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.

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

Thanks! To be honest, if you just do some research and watch a pile of KZfaq videos, it's all quite straightforward. My biggest worry was the main seal, but it went well. Good luck, and safe riding!

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?

@joeshaw123 Ай бұрын

Can’t do this with the 8 valve K100 management - the engine needs the original air flow meter to run

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 got lucky, and my guy didnt worry about the small change I made to the frame. So I didnt need to recert.

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.

@smackbikeNZ 4 ай бұрын

If you modify the frame you are supposed to go LVV. It's a bit rough with K100s as clearly the stress of the frame is not compromised by welding a hoop. In fact, being shorter it's probably stronger. I had the bike looked over by a person who was sympathetic to this perspective, and had no problem issuing the WOF. Still.. I was prepared to fork out the cash if necessary. Just do a really neat job on the welding.

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.
