    I have recently acquired a 78 R100 and it seems your concept for this one is in line with what I was thinking. I’m really enjoying this series and getting inspiration along the way. Thanks and I’m looking forward to the next installment.

    I was binge watching this whole build, really keen to see the next videos.
    I'm about to begin my R100 RS build soon this looks like its turning out really well

    Nice to know you can still get rebuild kits for those old forks. And don't those yokes, especially the top one, look spindly compared with modern bikes? I suppose they're steel rather than aluminium?

    Hi Ant. The forks are backwards. Just checking you know before you torque everything up.

      Ha ha. Yes they are. They need twisting around.

    I'm not familiar with BMW forks but don't the tight winds on the springs usually go at the top?

    • @luddite6239

      In theory, yes, (less unsprung weight) - in actuality, it won't make any noticeable difference to either the ride or the operation.

      This is true

    Did you lower the front forks at all?

    8 Ads in 7 and a half minutes… I get you need to generate revenue but I don’t think I follow any other channel with so many Ads or so close together… 😵‍💫

      It’s all automated and placed by RUclips. I have no control

      @@forthebold wow. I’ve never seen it so bad before. Literally every 2 minutes there were 2 Ads. Constantly interrupted the flow of the video. 🥺
