Incredible job

[@wolfgottlieb7737]

Wish you showed more of your process... the alternator just appeared painted . Would love to see more. Thanks

[@BayCityRestorations]

I painted it the same way as the other parts. I did not want the video to be too long.

[@AlbRider03]

@@BayCityRestorations did you reassemble it completely?

I appreciate it!

That is pretty awesome buddy.. top job👍🏻

Thank you! Cheers!

[@stevie5141]

Can I ask were you got the red rubber washers for the covers from? If they are rubber or did you paint them red As I would like some gold ones..👍🏻

[@BayCityRestorations]

I have a link under the description of the video for the ones I used off Amazon. I believe they do sell them in gold as well

Are there major differences between this and a 91 k100 rs?

[@BayCityRestorations]

No, there are a few subtle differences but mostly the same.

[@AdoteAzhar]

Immaculate!

[@HansPeter-ul7yt]

Thanks for the video

[@BayCityRestorations]

Appreciate you watching!

[@makuru3395]

fine paint job.

[@Rhodesy1108]

I had asked this question previous about the engine dress up washers. How did you get them over the standard bolts as they have a secondary flange around the standard bolt. Thanks if you can help

[@BayCityRestorations]

I replaced the hardware as well to standard bolts with no flange. I put a rubber washer behind the dress up washers to make sure there was a nice seal when they tightened down.

[@Rhodesy1108]

@@BayCityRestorations Thanks Guys. You don't have the spec of the replacement bolt do you? Or is is just a flanged hex bolt to the same length as the original;

[@borjaleonbueso-inchausti6156]

Great job, by the way, wich red and aluminion screws are? where can i buy them to fix on my k100 16v, are they for it o r i have to make any modification? thanks in advance

[@BayCityRestorations]

I have the washers linked in the description of the video. You will need to buy new hardware to use these since the original k100 bolts have a lip on them for the rubber grommet.

[@metodyx7507]

Great job, congratulations, but why didn't you show how you painted with black and didn't cover yellow and blue ??

[@BayCityRestorations]

I sprayed the blue, taped it off with the green tape, then sprayed everything black, and then removed the tape. Lastly put clearcoat over all of it.

[@metodyx7507]

@@BayCityRestorationslike i said..excellent..thanks for the clarification!

[@StraightLineCycles]

Elegant finish 👌

[@BayCityRestorations]

Thank you!

[@wrecksigge2654]

Hey man! Awesome work, looks gorgeous! If i may ask a question. How did you approach the part with the heat sinks and oil level sight glass. That part is already black on my bike, but very worn so i want to paint that aswell. Did you sand everything down or just cleaned and painted over it? Thanks and stay safe!

[@BayCityRestorations]

I would give it a really good clean with degreaser/acetone. If the old surface is really bad I use a wire wheel on a drill or dremel tool to remove any flaking paint. Then just repaint it a good engine enamel paint. The good thing about that paint is it’s pretty thick so little imperfections are covered.

[@wrecksigge2654]

@@BayCityRestorations Thanks for the advice!

[@mechealkolefire1574]

What are those red things on the right side of the engine cove bolts was that something purchased or made buy you?

[@BayCityRestorations]

I purchased them. I have added a link for them in the description of the video if you are interested in checking them out.

[@mechealkolefire1574]

Thanks! Are located in Michigan?

[@BayCityRestorations]

Haha no I get that a lot. I guess there is also a bay city Texas too. I’m actually in Tampa bay, Florida so that’s where the bay city comes from.

[@moto_dras]

The brick looks amazing! Well done. Although your video did make it look a little too easy! Ha

[@BayCityRestorations]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@konradborner6966]

Nice job but from the title I am missing checking the internals, like pistons, piston rings, bearings, valve train, oil pump... so it is just a looker for me.

[@BayCityRestorations]

Valves were adjusted and oil pan was replaced due to previous owner stripping the the oil drain plug. Engine was low mileage so there was no need to dig deeper into the internals.

[@Imvelo31]

Your a god

[@Infektedcustomz]

Epic!

Do you want to paint mine for me 👍

[@SuperYellowsubmarin]

So by "complete engine restoration" you mean painting the block and covers ? 😂

[@BayCityRestorations]

Come on now I threw in some new spark plugs too 😅 did you really want to see replacing all the seals, adjusting valves, dropping the oil pan and replacing filter, cleaning and replacing the water pump impeller. 😴 thanks for watching though 👍🏻

[@SuperYellowsubmarin]

@@BayCityRestorations Just kidding, that was nice to see. I'm just a sucker for engine teardowns.

[@Tom-sp2xs]

He’s right though……maybe change the title.
