Not digging that seat unit .not meaning to offend but the initial statement on the seat unit .I would say applies to this seat .rest of the bike looks mint

I personally did not want to go down the typical Cafe racer style, been done too many times, and not all look right to me. What do all you other think, let me know your comments too.

I'd say that's the 80s route you've went there. I've just picked up a k100 with a ridiculous seat fitted .I'd say if you fitted a more refined seat or even made your own it would look so much better

The reason your wheel is so dirty is because your using WD40 😅 yes it gets it clean but it also grabs hold of stuff for weeks after that’s why their so dirty.
@DeanAllen5 күн бұрын
Once used to clean, it is wiped off. So I guess what you are saying is, as long as you don't use WD 40, your wheels will stay clean anyway ?

Cheers TriAngles3D, thanks for that info. I am sure other Yamaha and other bike owners will find that helpful.
@TriAngles3DАй бұрын
Well done. Some info that may be helpful: 1. With exception to the removal of the old gasket, the gasket prep/ritual is for the most part not needed. Place the (dry) gasket over the dowels. If you feel better about adding oil/grease to the gasket surface then do so. Preferably place the gasket on the case side not the cover side otherwise you will be making it more difficult for yourself. Make sure you tighten the bolts in a cross pattern and all will be ok. 2. And, this is important: Place the friction plates in the new oil for a few hours or a day before installing.

@gmcharlton3 ай бұрын
Serious question - I have one of these I have built myself - nothing like as good a job as this one! I am still learning. My question is how does it handle? I am finding mine has a quite a twitchy front end - really notice any grooves in the road/white lines, etc? I have the same rear shock and standard forks with slightly heavier fork oil.
@DeanAllen3 ай бұрын
I found my 16v and now this 8 v handle surprisingly well. Obviously shedding all that weight, and having the alloy tank etc help immensely. I weigh 80kg, so never bothered to change the fork oil and kept it soft on the front. It soakes up the bumps nicely, not at all harsh initially my rear shock had too much preloaded, so backed off the spring. Now both front and rear are very nice. I don't want a sports bike here, I want a cruising, easy going ride, that handles well enough to be fun if I need it to be. Even my brakes are better than I thought they would be. I would say, if your front end is too harsh, drop the oil and come down on the weight, I.e if you have 10w try 7.5w, and be very mindful of the level ( air gap needed) Best of luck. Deano.

When I cut those bits off my K100 tank the seam did leak and I had to use liquid metal to seal it.
@DeanAllen3 ай бұрын
I have donevthis twice now, on K100 RS 16v and this 8v you need to get close with a dremmel type cutter but not to close. The key is to tidy it up, they did not take care with welding seams so I added filler in between weld bobbles rather than risk damaging the tank.

Look great. I am nearly there with a K1100LT conversion, with a candy red tank. I love the K100 Y wheels as the 1100 has the 3 spokes (which I'm not keen on) but has a wider back tyre so I kept them and had them power coated in black gold. I ditched the ABS and brakes are great now. Love your rear shock. I too ditched the airbox in favour of light weight intakes. I have both key and finger print ignition which is working great. I got some good ideas from you so many thanks. Hope you have lots of fun on this bike.
@DeanAllen3 ай бұрын
Did similar things with my very 1st project. The K100 RS 16v ( see other videos) as you say, not attractive wheels but more tyre choices. Look forward to you sharing the link to video of your 1100 when complete. Good Luck, enjoy the getting there, take your time, I know I did, too much !

Hi Deano, I got a 2020 crossrunner last year & changed the stock screen for the givi touring screen, it makes a big difference compared to the stock screen, but I have ran into a problem with the 5mm rubber well nuts which hold the screen onto the mounting plates, two out of the four well nuts have started to perish & the screen was rattling, so it looks like the added weight on the givi screen over the stock screen is a problem.

Hello Deano, I bought this seat unit from Cafe4racer, they are an EU based business so for me in U.K the import tax was not great, but a very good site (be careful I was like a kid in s candy store there) for all the bling and more. Just enter your type of BMW, then select what you want to get overly tempted by, in your case seats. I have finished my project now, although I have drive issues, clutch I believe. Once sorted I will be back to KZbin to add some nice photos and video. Thanks, other Deano

Hello You could try looping ( connecting a wire from one wire to the other) eliminating the switch, to see if brake light comes on all the time, which it should. Then you know for sure it is the switch and contacts in it, or wires to it. A switch should be very inexpensive. Good luck.

6 piston calipers were superb is that why so many guy like myself go out and buy a set of blue or gold dots and do the swap due to the rotors warp on the yzf750 bikes and if you're asking why when you have 6 piston calipers you would go to 4 piston well it seem to solve the problem of rotors warping and why did Yamaha go back to 4 pistons when the r1 has around 150 hp and the yzf 750 has 120 hp with 6 piston the 4 piston must work just as good I like the gold there lighter due to ceramic pistons you also need the break master cylinder from an r1 or r6 to match the 4 piston calipers you also need rotors from a Ducati 916 or other bikes that use those rotors due to the little round things on the rotors hit the brake pads if you keep the 750 rotors now you can just shave a little off the ends of the pads of the blue or gold dots and they'll miss
