Rear suspension on k100
« on: March 20, 2017, 11:22:42 PM »
has anyone tried to or has seen a rocker type suspension on the swing arm of the k100? I don't like the ugly shock so I am trying to change it. Also I know there have been threads about it but has anyone put a single 40mm Dcoe Webber on a k100?

Shock on k100
« Reply #1 on: March 21, 2017, 02:30:13 PM »
i want to turn the shock horizontal and was wondering if anyone had done anything to move the shock somewhere else. I was thinking maybe a rocker arm connected to the final drive but I am not shure. Can anyone help?

There's a shop out of Brazil called retroridesbylourenco that's currently working on a K100 conversion. I found these pics on Instagram.

Thankyou for the information. It is very helpful. If I end up doing it to my bike I will post photos.
