BMW K100RS Project

Seat unit arrived today and is a perfect match to the supports made earlier.
Plenty of room for battery in the hump and maybe even enough for the radiator header tank.

Plate fits inside tail and indicators seem good.

Rear light ordered.
Not sure but im hoping to cut out the shape and insert it into the rear assy if possible.

Constructed the rear bracket for the seat unit which I can add a couple of leds for the plate.
Mounted the rego holder also.

Collector 4 into one will be ready this coming week. The 4 collector pipes are welded in and the cone is ready to press onto the rig to shape it.

I got my drag bars, mirrors, headlight & headlight brackets from these guys. Considering its ex Aussie it was nice and quick delivery. Im probably going to go for an all in one tail light unit
Looking good there Mossy!

Starting to take shape and look good.

**mossy1200** · 6th October 2014, 16:23

Thanks guys.
Emailed about getting the rear section chromed to see what that would cost.
Im just not sure if I want high polished tank and chromed tail or if I should get both painted or 3m stickered.

NEED advice on this im thinking to much shiny might not look good.

Rearset production has started again so hoping to see them soon.
Ordered brake hoses and couplings etc.

Headlight auction finishes tonight so hoping to get that also.

Had to bid up to win grr.

Will the carbide lamp pass compliance?

**mossy1200** · 6th October 2014, 19:21

Calcium carbide with water plus 10% dot 4 brake fluid should create a compliant illumination.
I will scribe a E on it also and rub some dirt into that to make it look aged and authentic.

Upstairs is for thinking
Downstairs is for dinking
Im not one to go off half cocked on a project of this nature.

Good to see you sticking with the tried and true. Want crossplys with that?

If you put Firestones and pipe wrap on it you might get it on Bike EXIF

Ordered all the front brake line parts I want to not require the bmw steering tube method for front brakes.

Priced up a paint job and I think ill go painted tank and tail.
Will cost 400 for semi gloss black

The slush fund is low so there is a lot of wants and no funds now plus a wife that wants xmas to not involve instant noodles.

The good and the bad.

Tail light arrived "Number Plate Lights 12 volt Emarked Tail light"
No E Mark

Headlight arrived. Temp bracket only. I do like the way it looks.
