Originally a BMW K100 from the late 1980s. This build is about simple uncluttered lines. Love it, or hate it, the K100 has an interesting engine design and one I feel needs to be seen. This design/build has subtle changes and upgrades that give the impression it could have come from the factory yesterday. To this end we have kept it as much as possible to the original parts with a few tweaks here and there. All the plastic covers have been ditched, the frame cut and shortened front end lowered, clip-ons added and that hideous oversized instrument cluster straight in the bin with a modern digital one. A new seat design, LED lights, re modelled exhaust, carbon fibre fenders, more aggressive carbon fibre side-covers and carbon fibre exhaust shield were all designed by us.

‍Gas Tank
‍The original gas tank has a great shape to it and the angle of its mount has as an aggressive look and feeling of speed, even when stationery. However, when the original Tupperware is removed it reveals that ugly cut away at the bottom of the tank. In all the custom builds I have seen this part seems to get forgotten about and has not been addressed leaving it looking unfinished and if there is something missing. As we wanted to use the original tank a solution had to be found, so we moulded carbon fibre panels that clip in place hiding that empty void, a much better solution. 

‍Seat
‍Normally in the custom builds the bottom angle of the tank is used as a guide to extend the seat position, leading the eye on a straight uninterrupted path. In this case it would have made the seat too high and wasn’t the look we were going for. This was problematic and did take some time to figure this out. The solution we came up with was to make the seat flow from the tank downwards at an opposing angle but still making it look correct as if it came from the factory. To maintain a clean eye line from the tank through the seat a stitching line was sewn into the seat giving the eye a line to follow.

‍Exhaust
‍The original exhaust on the RS has quite a nice shape to it, however it is incredibly long and protrudes almost to the rear of the wheel making it look very or quid and clumsy. We wanted to keep the build as close as possible to stock, so we cut off 240mm and re tig welded the end back on, making it look stock and not an aftermarket bolt on. We designed and fabricated a carbon fibre heat shield and used the original steel heat shield as a mould to keep it looking stock. The resulting sound is slightly louder (but not too offensive) but has a much more raspier tone to it.
