Thanks for the comment Ekim 🙏 with all the help from RUclips and the Instagram community it actually wasn't too hard buddy even for someone that's never done a bike before like myself. I had done a couple of car restorations years ago but this is so much easier 😉
Thanks Louis 🤘 I can highly recommend it buddy. Good learning curve having never done anything like this but awesome thing to do with a nice bike to ride at the end as an added bonus 😁
Thanks mate 🙏 yes it definately does for my first build I'm pretty stoked how she came out 😁 I think learning things along the way will make the R100 trump this baby though and make the build a lot easier this time around. But saying that I don't think there's anything I'd change on the K or do differently 😉
Thanks for the comment captain 🙌 Nothing a angle grinder, flap pad and bench grinder can't do 😁 I put a post on IG on my process if your interested. Cheers Scott
Great video mate! I think I started following pretty early on in the build but it was cool to see everything from start to finish! Looking forward to you bringing the new project bike home :)
Dope build! I’ll be doing one up in a month. I also have a 2020 S1000rr and had a ‘17 before that but this will be a great bike to putt around Las Vegas with.
Thanks for the comment mate 😉 Really missing my S1K after letting her go a few months ago now 🙄 but loving the new model so who knows! Great stuff on getting a build going I had a ball doing mine you'll be hooked. Hit me up on insta if you get a page going for it so I can follow along the journey and enjoy those Vegas roads 😉 visited there a few years ago, it's a buzzing place to be 🤘
@@twistedfatebuilds just followed you on insta from @TheDanielToby. Yea man, I've been in Florida for about 5 years and the riding is boring as shit even though it has a massive amount of bikes and rideable weather. But the desert will definitely be a great ride I can imagine! Sorry to hear about getting rid of the S1K, they're fun!
@@Supercarlsunday Love a streetfighter mate 😍 look forward to seeing them come along. Power to you getting out in the workshop over winter, I see you have the heater but I'd need more of a jet engine to keep me warm 😅
@@twistedfatebuilds I have started insulating the building and will.be using a space heater this year lol. Last year was brutal. Where about are you from?
@@Supercarlsunday Sounds better already 😁 I'm in Melbourne mate so no stranger to cold weather that's for sure but no snow thank god! Just watching you walk through it to your workshop made my bones chill 😅 I'd defo turn one of our bedrooms into a mini workshop 😉
Thanks so much for the comment Kaya, it was a great first project. I think with the things I learnt first time around the next project R100 will be even more epic 🤘
Cheers buddy, it's a roughy but I'll do a more detailed walk around and ride when we finally get some good weather here. And better documented on the next one 😉
It will be my first project,didn't started yet but hopefully next month will do. The evolution of my build will be on my insta ofc :D insta: duna.andrei ,if you want to keep an eye on my future project,i'll follow back ofc
Great project dude! You have a big fan in Belgium! I have an opportunity to buy a K1 100 LT for a similar project. Could you tell me how much time it took you? And budget? I would like to make it also by my own!
Thanks mate, you should go for it. Even though this was my first build I didn't find it veryry difficult and there's a huge amount of builders out there that are more than happy to give advice along the way especially on insta. As for time I really have no idea! I built this over a year but only a few hours after work a couple of nights a week and some full days on odd weekends. Pricing depends on how much you do yourself or out source like paint, sandblasting etc and if you want to go down the full m-unit rewire or happy to leave most of the wiring and do a BEP 3.0 install so again it's hard to judge but I think if you had around a 10k AUD budget you would be more than covered
Thanks for your fast reply@@twistedfatebuilds! Seems like another K1 100 LT cafe racer could be on the road soon. It would be my first build too. I have a 5K budget but would be able to make most of the body/frame changes (sandblasting, paint, etc.) by my own. My only concerns are about the engine review and the wiring. I will keep you in touch if I go for it!
@@rouyertanguy7408 Take the plunge mate 💪 you'll get good coverage with that money. Maybe get the engine tested or atleast do a quick compression test yourself. 😉 Keep in touch buddy
Thanks so much for the comment Sam. I do have tips on my insta but in a nutshell my method now is to firstly sand blast then wet sand the item down through coarse to fine grits as much as possible so it's almost there which will save your wheels and cutting compound. From there I use a bench grinder with a stitched cotton cutting wheel and coarse compound then onto a stitched cotton polishing wheel and fine compound then finish with a loose cotton polishing wheel which usually doesn't need any compound but if required a bit of super fine or autosol does the job. Seems a lot but once you get the hang of it the process is quite quick
@@twistedfatebuilds Thank you so much I'm going to have a look on insta now, starting my K build as soon as I get a few parts together trying to avoid a bike in bit and waiting on parts . I was thinking ultrasonic cleaner might be a good thing to get do you have one?
@@samlegae9217 I do have a small one (I hardly ever use) but to be honest nothing cleans better than a bit of petro in a spray bottlel and brushes and rags. Beats most degreasers and unless you have the room for a massive ultrasonic you'll be using this method for most parts anyway
Thanks buddy, I'm Melbourne based. Are you on insta with the build? Hit me up there if you'd like any tips or resources to get you going. You'll love the journey mate.
Thank you 🙏 I sand the part with various grades of paper down to as fine as I can get it without blemishes then a bench grinder with a combination of loose and stitched cotton wheels and cutting compounds. It is a tedious job but well worth it.
@@thehardwoodflooringshopltd9771 Thanks brother 🙏 I'd have to say pretty much the same apart from a more sports bike lean over the bars due to the dropped seat position and clip ons and more wind in the face due to no screen. She's not as comfortable as OEM but that's the price you pay for looks 😉 my R100 build is a lot more comfortable for longer rides that's for sure but this is a lot more nimble for a quick blast in the hills
HI Man, looking amazing! I'm working on my own k1100lt project and i was wondering if you can help me with the electrics? i bought the Munit and I tried to set it up but im struggling. Really hope you can help.
Hi mate thanks for the comment 🤘 I didn't go down the m-unit road with this one due to the complexity of getting it working on the k11 verses the cost so kept the relays and fuses but used a BEP 3.O to the Motogadget breakout box. Subscribe to mikeyfromphia on here and IG as he has got it sorted and may be able to help. Also on IG @thepowerbrick has one running I'm pretty sure buddy. Hope that helps 😉
Cheers buddy. These are custom I measured up with a piece of cable and ordered direct from HEL. I'm pretty sure I would still have the order somewhere on email and happy to send it but I recommend doing your own measurements insitu as small things can change bike to bike like bar height, splitter location, rearset type etc. If you still want it shoot me a message through insta or my website with an email addy as I don't think I can send it through here 😉
beautiful work ! I'm on mine and would like to put the m-unit, and remove a lot of cable, did you use it ? if yes do you have a schema or something that can help me thanks you and again a great work
Thanks mate. For this build I used a BEP 3.0 to integrate with the pro breakout box. I'm using m-unit blue on my latest R100 build and it does make it super easy to rewire the build but I don't have a specific diagram for the K. Try @mikeyfromphia I'm pretty sure he does good walk throughs on what your looking for 😉
@@twistedfatebuilds i do. I just got a k1100 gifted to me and it needs a full restoration. That dash is pretty slick. Itll be my first ever build (matter of factly first motorcycle in general). Considering the weight of the bike and the horsepower I want to make it lighter specifically on the top side but anywhere I could shave a few lbs is a plus so the whole front faring is coming off for sure. Not sure if i wanna do a scrambler build or a cafe racer, opinions are absolutely welcome! thanks for the great video i subbed to your youtube and insta immediatly after watching.
@@cXcalamity Thanks mate and congrats on the start of an awesome adventure 🤘 This was my first build too and had a blast. There are sooooo many great builders and a huge helpful community on IG so defo get on there and start chatting to everyone 😁 the dash I used for this build and also for my 2nd I am currently doing is a motogadget motoscope Pro. It's pretty sweet mate but there are lots out there depending on your taste and needs. Hit me up on insta so I can follow the journey and if you have any more questions or need resources I have a whole bunch thanks again for making contact
Hi Kevin, I don't have much experience with the k100 mate. Mine is a k1100 with paralever so I asked a buddy who has done it (@ditstang on Instagram) and here's his reply It will unfortunately never be centered unless he machines the hub of the wheel. You need a spacer to clear 170 and that's fairly kicked left of center. Switching to a paralever could probably net you 180 and stay centered. So pretty much if you run a monolever you will have an offset wheel to start and would have to run a spacer as well to get a 170 shoe on it. If you have a paralever this will centre the K12 rim Hope this helps mate and maybe have a look at his IG page as he will have info on there. I run a 170 on mine with a paralever and it's pretty tight
@@twistedfatebuilds great build inspiration and going to start my own on a K1100rs soon as I can score a good donor bike in th UK. Does the K1200 rear rim just need a spacer tp be straight then just confused frm the reply. Many thanks in advance, subbed and working my way through your channel 😃👍
@@stevieh986 Hi Stevie, thanks buddy 🙏 The k1200LT rim will fit straight up to a K1100 without the need for spacers to centralise it as they both run the paralever swingarm. The spacer talk is just for the k100 running a monolever swingarm. All the best with the build mate, you'll have a blast 😉 feel free to hit me up here or on insta if there's anything I may be able to help with
