- Massive milestone on my BMW R100 project with the first start of the airhead after its full rebuild after nearly 12 months with new crank, connecting rods, head refresh, rings, seals and gaskets. Also testing the motogadget m-unit blue, ricks motorsports rec/reg, dual output coil and my wiring for the first engine start. Starting with setting the Bing carbies, checking oil pressure and oil to the rockers, then on to fueling the Bing bowls and the first crank.

Brooke's videos are priceless. Couldn't have rebuilt my 83 R100 without him. And Rubber Chicken Racing.
Agree, I spent countless hours watching Brooke's great vids 👌
@@twistedfatebuilds what exhaust are you using?
@@LBBKPHILLY I'm running the OEM headers that I just stripped and cerakoted in armor black with a couple of cheap Ali express hotdogs! I repacked the hotdogs with some sound matting and its perfect and also passed our roadworthy DB test. You can see the details on my insta if your on there. Shoot me a message if you want me to dig up the link to them, from memory they set me back about $100 for the two landed in Aus
@@twistedfatebuilds where do i find brooke ? awesome build !!!!
@@therealmanuelseidl Thanks mate. Google Brookes garage. He has great derailed vids on most BMW models
This was awesome to see! You’ve done a beautiful job with the finishes on the engine and frame.
Thanks so much for the comment Jacob 🙏
Sounds awesome. Great job 👏
Thanks Dave 🙏 I'm pretty damn happy mate 😁
Sounds awesome mate, I can't wait to hear this ripping down the road!
Thanks Ben, me either buddy although my neighbours may think differently 🤣
Congrats man. It's always a bit of a worry with the 1st start but it looks like you've taken all the right steps in preparation.
Thanks brother. It was a case of check, double check and a triple just for good measure but still nerve racking 😉 glad to hear her barking again though 🤘
Mate, first class job, super clean love it!!!
Thank you for the comment 🙏😁
Beast of a bike
Thanks Dennis 🙏
Congratulations Scott ! Big moment there, Winnie is looking Svelte 😍
Massive moment Dave, I've ordered a small 5ltr fuel cell so I can run her longer than the 15 seconds I get from the carby bowls which should give me time to do the timing and idle etc. Thanks buddy 😉
Sweet!!
Cheers buddy, was a massive relief to hear her come back to life 😁
Any idea where I can get final drive parts for my 1979 R100 I’m in Perth
Not too sure mate apart from contacting all the BMW motorcycle mechanics. Motorworks UK have a lot of 2nd hand parts and are reasonably priced but it depends on the size and weight as shipping may be a killer
Very nice! I am just starting on my own odyssey to build something like what you have done based on a 1981 R100RT. I would be very interested to know what you used for the handlebars and associated throttle and control hardware. I tried a set of straighter bars but they are too short to fit all the necessary bits, and I want to mock it all up before full disassembly for power coating etc.
Hi Gary, thanks for the message and congrats on the start of your build 🤘 I used clip on bars here paired with some rebel moto switches. I started with a Domino throttle but didn't like the hump size where the spindle was as it made it difficult to get to the rebel buttons. I swapped out to a messnermoto throttle which was more exy but low profile.
Your best bet is to jump on Instagram to see the two builds documented pretty in depth where you can hit me up with any other questions along your journey buddy.

looks great, how come the carb wasnt painted black as well? not trolling just curious, seen a lot of folks not paint it
Thanks buddy, I painted them in Cerakote titanium just to break up the all black and make them stand out a bit more as I think they are a great looking carby 😉
Beautiful ! What are the tyres sizes ?
Thanks buddy 🙏 I'm running Pirelli scorpions on her.
MT90 on the rear 120/80/18
MT60 on the front 100/90/19
Cheers
Scott
Did you need a converter to fit the shorty exhaust? I find that mine are wider diameter than the stock headers.
I didn't buddy, these mufflers fit two different sized headers depending on which way you turn them and I made sure one was the correct size before ordering. I did cut some slots down the line so the clamp could pull it up tighter though.
What length of rear shocks did you use?
430mm YSS Topline. Check them out at jaxgarage.com.au Use code TWISTED5 for 5% off if your looking for some prices
Wooo looks and sounds awesome! Which gas cable splitter is under your tank?
Thanks brother 🙏 it's the OEM splitter just cleaned up buddy 😉
@@twistedfatebuilds sweet!
Where did you buy your bobber seat sub frame?
It's a messnermoto mate.
What mufflers are you running?
Hey mate, these are cheap hotdogs I got from Ali express. I broke them down and re packed them with better matting and trimmed the silencer then coated them in some Cerakote C series armor black. I have a small post on it at my insta
