Title: New guy from PNW
Post by: Revrdmark on July 18, 2016, 06:33:43 PM
Hi my name is Mark and I live in Spokane WA. I just picked up an 87 K100 as a cafe project ( I know I know you either love or hate cafe bikes... I'm in the love category) I actually picked up two bikes one with salvage title with strong engine and tranny and one with clean title and blown engine.  The blown engine bike is a LT and has full dress fairing and luggage in great shape. Those will all be going in the " to sell" bin. ( if you are interested let me know )

Here is a a few pics of the two bikes that will become one nice one :-)

Ya since one had a salvaged title already i figured swapping the Engine and Drive train would  make one nice bike,  The  bad engine according to the Previous Owner resulted from an oil pump that failed and running it on the freeway starved for oil until he found a place to pull off safely. (Supposedly only a couple minutes)  He replaced the Oil Pump but said it made terrible noises after lol (Ya think?!) I havent attempted to start it or   do any investigating as to the level of damage.

Since i have the other engine i will just swap it and not mess with the  broken one.  Maybe  collect all the spare parts into a complete  bike with salvaged title and sell it for $500 if someone wants to tear into the engine. Or part it out completely and make a boat anchor or scrap metal out of the engine.
