Front End Swap Conversion Part 1 - BMW K100

thanks great vid

Looks like a great build so far. I'm in the process of doing the same. But instead of shaving any of the tabs from the bottom triple, I used the post on the left side for a steering damper and had my mech weld a bit longer tab on the frame where the steering stop is to mount it all. I also used the middle to mount my brake line retainer. But I do like the idea of smoothing all of the seams. Will give it a custom look. Will be following.

657 views and no likes. Not nice. At least I'm first. Nice vid hope that will be more of this build. Good luck

Awesome to follow he build process. quick quesiton, what width clip on handle bars did you order? cheers

also where did you source both the front fork and rear shocks for the build?

They only make them for the k100. Does anybody know if they will work on a k75?

im a bit new to building motorcycles and i cant seem to find an answer as to why people change the forks on these bikes when they do a build like you are...any particular reason?

Hey is that stem really needed? whats wrong with the gsxr stock one?

Thanks for the great video! I'm actually doing the same thing on a K75 (I did fir the Cognito Moto stem with no spacers and the fit was beautiful...) and got a huge scare today when I fitted the rotors... Just some few questions:

Why can't you use the original GSX-R 600 axle with spacers?

Could you please share all the specs and links on the caliper spacers, bearings and dust seals you used?

Having the rotor spacers only on one end of the wheel only doesn't cause it to be off center? I'm planning on keeping the ABS operational on my K75, so I'll be keeping the ABS disc... I guess that brings a couple mils off the spacers.

While eyeballing mine this morning, it did seem like the rotor bolts where scary close to the forks... Actually, if I was to make the rotor centered in between the brake pads, they would hit on one of the protrusions on the inner side of the fork leg...

Again thanks for making me breathe again hahaha... I thought I had wasted a ton of cash on rim and rotors.

Hi Jay, love the video and definitely a subscriber. Looking forward to the video of the finished seat!

Just a question on your front end, I'm going to go with the same concept but would you mind if I asked a couple of questions?

Firstly, why did you decided not to go for the full triple tree and just the stem?

Secondly, as a result of the lower offset do you have any steering issues (hitting the tank?)

Lastly, do you plan to get a new top yoke to remove the suzuki branding?

Hello my name is antonino from italy. I like your amazing video about k100. I want to do the same thinks of this video on my k75.

Great video! :)

Great videos, can you confirm which way the stem is removed?
Do you have to push the stem down through the bottom of the clamp or is it pushed up and out? Thanks
