new owner K1 1991
« on: May 19, 2020, 02:58:26 PM »
hey guys,

im new here and just bought my first bmw k series, dont know if is the good section

my last project was a cb750 took 2 years to build

was looking for a  k100 or r100 but this k1 was really close to my area and bought it right away.

the bike was in storage for 5 years, my goal this season is to put it back on the road,  master cylinder is stuck, battery dead, fuel pump dead, tank need to be clean, big tune up  and I need to pass the safety because  the bike was in storage more than 1 year.

At the beginning I wanted to do a cafe racer build but I read a lot and its kinda sad to destroy de bike, they only made 7000 copy, well will see what im gonna do with it

the exterior is in rough condition, the 2 side fairing are crack, not the original seat (I think), I think the previous owner use rattle can,

like I said dont know what I gonna do with it, do you know guys the value of this beast in mint condition?

my last build


heres my k1







order fuel pump and aster cylinder  still waiting

inside the tank





cleaning process






master cylinder stuck


finaly remove it was not easy



this is it so far keep you update when I received my part



see yaaa

If the fairing is repairable and but not choice, that bad boy needs a holographic vinyl wrap.



and maybe some interior lights that illuminate the engine/frame where it peaks out behind the fairing.
