Hello! I recently moved to Poland and couldn't resist to acquire this K1100RS 93' after selling my F800R 11' back in Mauritius Island.
I plan to strip it of and make it a flat tracker style after following the thread of a young Hawaiian folk how transformed his Red K100 in his garage.
attached is a picture of my (not so) new baby!
I will need your guidance folks to help me give this beauty a clean and retro look :)
-
Every time I see someone stripping a K1100RS in the same color as mine, it ends up being overseas, haha (cost of shipping way higher)

It's beautiful the way it is! Find a clapped-out one to desecrate!

It already has a clean retro look, however if you must chop it up, do a search as there are others that have gone that route and have posted their adventure.

Are you referring to this one? It's a K75.

Trust me the picture looks much more clean than real! lot of scratches, cracks, riveted metal on the inside... nobody would take them even for free

I got it for a very fair price from someone who inherited it from his grandpa' :) kept falling due to the size and weight of the beast - the front brake system need a clean up, the battery is dead and the plastics deserves to be recycled - I will keep the tank for sure and maybe the tail but the rest is in really bad shape :(

I knew I would hear this :) I will do a search and see what part of their route will help me to achieve the look that fits me :)
I once heard that riding something you built yourself feels a lot different...

Yes! I was amazed how the final result looked like! :)
I don't plan to go for an expensive build with japanese inverted forks, modified rear suspension system or even with a moto gadget something clocks - something relatively simple and clean - I must say that my worst nightmare is to only think about how to attach a small universal speedometer to it :S
Here are some clean inspirations I found online:

But the one in the second photo does seem to have a toilet paper dispenser so how much more customizing would be acceptable?
-
dumb question....or maybe not..
what the hell is the difference between a cafe racer, street tracker, street fighter, scrambler, etc, etc, etc. everyone's "individual" custom hoop chopper looks identical to the others with just a different label. seems like a standard formula.

I think you're onto something there! Choppers—it has a nice ring to it.

Start thinking BIG, djaysan.
First, here's a modestly stripped K1100.

Here's a K1200 engine in a K100 frame with a K1100 driveline and wider wheels that rides well. Read this thread (http://www.k100-forum.com/t8933-big-block-k100).

I will be following with interest as I too have the same bike and not sure what direction to go with it. Good luck!

Hello every one! long time no post!
here is a little picture to understand the difference between all those 'custom' bikes:
PS: I will go to the route between the 'brat' and the 'scrambler'

Thank you ! I have started already - I rented a shed / garage / underground whatever you call it for the winter.
I had only two sessions with the bikes and here is the 'before / after' stripping on the 1st day!
Oh! and I added my first mod to the project : a LED headlight - it was a plug and play!

You'll be needing an air-cooled parallel twin. 650cc should be about right.
-
I guess I will do with what I have in my hands :)
I got a great deal on a k1200 Rear wheel so I couldn't resist ! the next day I got them I could resist the urge to go back for a 2nd day in the Shed :
Oh and the last picture is showing the TENET from my French new mate Francois who sell those :) It's really plug and play for around 200USD including the harness and the speedometer - how could I resist?
-
here is the first test of the new speedo:

It's really hard to tell how recent the second picture is ... what month is that on the calendar?
Nice having a place to work on the brick out of the weather, good luck.

Following with interest....have my own K1100 resto in process

I moved in the country side at the wifey parent's when we still could travel the country...
I recently acquired this K1200RS fuel rail which looks so much cleaner and clean the fuel pipe route. also seems that it runs smoother.

Now let's chase some 4 holes injectors and see how it perform 112350
