What kind of engine paint did you use? The link you put doesn't work

[@BayCityRestorations]

@@dingusmaximus80 Thanks for letting me know the link was not working. It is fixed now. The paint is made by Eastwood.

@@BayCityRestorations you don't sell them? You just keep them?

[@BayCityRestorations]

at the moment I just build these bikes for my personal collection. I will eventually have to sell some of them though because I am quickly running out of space.

[@JazzAvila]

What's the diameter of those clip on bars?

This is the most classic and beautiful BMW Cafe IV ever seen. Simply wow!!!!!

Thank you!

[@christianbernlind7761]

Wow, this is a good looking one! I have always had a dream to convert my old K75S form 1986, which I bought almost 40 years ago - in 1992 - into a café racer...

[@BayCityRestorations]

They are great bikes!

[@alpeena]

Ive watched hrs of your builds....very few builders just nail it for me...you do!....amazing work.....how can someone buy a bike done from by you?

[@BayCityRestorations]

I really appreciate it! Right now I just build these bikes as a hobby. Most of them are kept for my personal collection. If I do decide to put any up for sale I will do so on my instagram page.

[@TONEOFARC]

Just got mine. Going to do the same. It’s a 95 fully loaded with 100 pounds of plastic. It’s all got to go. This is fabulous. Thanks

[@nicholasbaker2904]

Gorgeous. Me personally I'd have kept the stock tank colors bc the red pinstripe looked awesome.

[@BayCityRestorations]

The original paint had turned into chalk from sitting in the Florida sun all these years. It had to be repainted.

[@carlarthur4442]

Wish you were my neighbour, I've got a K75c had it for 15 years , great bikes but a bit boring in standard form , really nice build on your bike . Pity I live in the U K 😊

[@rykerchacon8861]

where did you get/how did you make the rear seat? I have a BMW that I want a similar seat on also are those clip on handlebars reliable?

[@RavenValkyrie]

damn only 4 months of work, the bike came out incredible.

[@Dylan_Mulvey1000]

Love the build, 1 more question I was wondering how far you dropped the handle bars in the front? Want to lower mine as well.

[@BayCityRestorations]

this bike had a 1.5 inch drop in the front.

[@Justk75]

That is mint 👌 👏

[@BayCityRestorations]

Thank you 🙏🏻

@BayCityRestorations credit where credit is due .it's a beatiful build .You have better weather than here in Scotland .still want to build one though

[@kodyk2368]

Where’d you get the front fender from? Could i get the link?

[@jedivanrooyen9614]

Is the seat pan made out of the original back fairing??

[@BayCityRestorations]

No it is a custom fiberglass mold.

[@jedivanrooyen9614]

@@BayCityRestorations I really appreciate you replying so long after you put out the vid. While the twisted brothers seat pan is amazing, it’s very expensive for me in my country. Are there any cheaper options that look similar you can suggest

Thank you!

[@duqam7422]

I’m looking to get my first bike and I love how this one looks, there’s one for sale near me for 4k. I know 740cc is a lot to start off with, but do you think it would be manageable to learn on?

[@BayCityRestorations]

Yes, I think these bikes have enough power so that you can grow into them but they do not have so much torque that it would be hard for a beginner to learn on.

[@duqam7422]

@@BayCityRestorations Thanks, I figured with it being an older bike that would be the case, Im 6 foot and 180 lb, so I feel like Id be able to handle it.

[@ImVladdy]

One more great flying brick👍 planing to start my K1100 build this winter. And found same seat, is it twisted brothers? How comfortable is it? I know it’s cafe style, but still 😁

[@BayCityRestorations]

I’ve ridden the bike on trips of 200 miles+ in one day. The seat could definitely use more padding but overall it’s not bad.

[@ImVladdy]

@@BayCityRestorations cool, thanks. I’ve contacted them asking about mounts and stuff like that. And they told me they can make a 2cm thicker padding if I need to, but I’m not sure if it’s gonna look as nice. Appreciate you sharing your builds. Your k100 (blue tank) actually inspired me to make my own build, and I couldn’t resist to buy one, when I saw a k1100for sell)

[@BayCityRestorations]

Love it man! Good luck with your build! I’m looking for a k1100 to build next :)

@@BayCityRestorations I have a 91 k75

[@SC4RFAC327]

Did you keep the stock k75 forks? How were you able to lower the bars using the stock forks if so.

[@BayCityRestorations]

Yes they are the original forks. Clip on bars linked in the description will fit right on the k75 forks.

[@simcivic08]

This, I want to know as well. Did you just slid the forks up the triple tree? I want to lower my k75 without swaping the forks for now.

[@jesusarmendariz6578]

How comfortable is that seat? I'm thinking about buying the same style of seat by twisted Brothers for my K75

[@BayCityRestorations]

I wouldn’t use the word comfort. It is tolerable but for longer rides it wasn’t the best.

[@calculatedcactus7457]

Where did you buy your parts

[@PewPewDoc]

Can u give me the link on the seat?

[@lukasflores9463]

What size clip on bars did you get, 41mm?

[@BayCityRestorations]

Yes, that is correct. The stock forks are 41mm so that is the size clip on I went with.

[@lold6130]

NICE!

[@jessib2dope790]

Where did you get the cross member brace for the seat?

[@BayCityRestorations]

I made it myself out of a flat piece of steel. You can find it at most hardware stores and then just use a bench vise and hammer to bend it in to the shape you need.

[@DaytonCarCare]

How much was spent on the parts?
