This is from TrueAce suggestion, so I'll just get it started for fun. Add on what you've created or found on the interweb or someone's else k-bike.
-
These were created by Z17 Customs out of Moscow where I purchased mine. They specialize in K-Bike conversion it seems.
-
Good move, duckyman!
-
Someone out of either Italy or Germany is starting a website selling very blingy BMW parts for K-Bikes and R-Bikes. Lots of Instagram posting of parts. I don't think the website is fully running yet. Are K-Bikes becoming a more popular platform to do conversions?

Seems many pro customizes are using K platforms, and plenty of regular guys as well. Are there more of them than non-modified K-owners? Check the Pintrest site for BMW K-Bikes, custom.........it's amazing. It would be very interesting to know how many K-Brick models are registered by State.

It seems like more of the pro-level customization are being done overseas. That's prob why the majority, if not all of the aftermarket parts are sold in EU. I think the K-Bike is prob a cheap platform to use and they're in abundance.

The problem with most of these custom caps is they deform the profiteroles I carry in my tank bag for quick emergency access.
-
THAT.......is the best free product idea ever! Call QVC and HSN........we're gonna be rich!!!!
The custom design K-Brick tank bag Profiteroles Rack! THat.... is a need we can fulfill! :2thumbup:

Sweet!

I think that the combination of an engine that lasts forever, that puts the mass low and is different from anything else pretty much sums up the appeal of the K bikes for people that want to show their individuality.
When I was looking for a motorcycle to take my wife on - I'm 250 and she is 135 - I was looking specifically for shaft driven.
I have never had a motorcycle that weighed more than 360 lbs wet, so I was more than happy to find a good deal on my '85 K100 because it didn't look like a cruiser, had that iconoclastic engine and just looks right.
I have 2 RD 350's that serve the wild side and around town use and I certainly didn't was a full touring rig.
I will say that until I saw a pic of mine in an ad I had no idea that BMW produced these bikes, having raised a family and forgoing motorcycles until they were on their own.
I simply did not keep up with motorcycles - I devoted my dreaming and projects to cars.
Once I saw the pic I realized that it looked a lot profile-wise like the UJM's that I prefer and are starting to appear again.
So I discovered this board and that was it - I was a goner...
As far as the gas caps go - meh...
If the don't have a lock and they really protrude I don't care for them.
I couldn't be happier.

Brad-Man, you been posting for a lotta times, so you know the rules say you gotta mention the topic at least once. :dunn I read the whole sentimental post three times, and couldn't find the words " Gas Cap ". :dunno
-
My pardon TrueAce.
I was only responding to your post and others about why people seem to focus on K bikes a lot - that didn't mention gas caps either - have added to my post to stay within the guidelines.
And in return I expect you to do the same.
Let he who has not sinned cast the first stone...
-
All in good fun, Brad-Man! Keep on keepin's on.......it's all good :2thumbup:
-
Actually DID have fun responding 'Ace!
-
A little off topic, but all in good fun. Can anyone decipher what Old Man Laitch is doing in his new profile pic?
Laitch,
Are you doing a Vermont style Chuck Norris kick to your K75 lol? Perhaps you're kicking it because you ran out of Profiteroles.

That's the Drunk-Leg-on-Table-Disgusted-Stare-At-The-Bitch pose, see the empty bourbon bottle on the bench? :lets-eat:

'see the empty bourbon bottle on the bench? :lets-eat:
How many bottles of Bourbon does it take to change a rear tyre?
There's still one to go!

That's Dewar's being used as an air-freshener, a solvent, and a lubricant for bystanders off-screen. I gave up on alcohol years ago when I realized it had failed to help make me the Second-most Interesting Man in the World, and Big-Booze wouldn't refund my investment.

Ran across this one on the K-100 Forum.

User: Manuelwind is selling these.
-
How much is he selling them for sj2000? I know his website is in the "coming soon" stage. I have some of his other creations posted here already.
-
The price that he quoted for me, Mugello: 160 Euro, Misano $130 Euro + shipping. It is a little bit expensive but the details are awesome, last time he had the images in the facebook and showing the details, but I could not find the facebook anymore.
-
That is pretty pricey indeed! He has lots of Instagram postings under @exclusivebmwparts.
-
Looks like some type of partial attachment to a stock cap made of wood.
