new member - work in progress BMW Fighter
beachcomber:
Hi guys,
just joined up today - I can see I have a busy night of surfing ahead of me !!!!!
Here's one of my Fighters [ BMW Kay 100 ] in mock up form awaiting stripdown for paint, upholstery, powder coating, etc. There's a K100 60's style Cafe Racer and modern Race Rep in the wings when the Fighter is finished.
The bike is getting K1100RS 3 spoke wheels, the stockers on the bike are just for rolling it around.

Very cool project. Love the body work.
fastcat14:
cool, I love BMWs. have had a couple Rs and always wanted a K. what colors are you going for on this one???
beachcomber:
Thanx for the kind words - this one has to be Satin Black with FO Orange frame, wheels and accents. It will be sprayed professionally - it is not meant to be a Rat bike, I just LOVE Satin Black !
I had the side panels made to my patterns in alloy by a guy who does a lot of the Museum work for the Japanese factories. I asked his permission to take GRP moulds from them [ given ] as he takes sooo long [ 4 months ! ] to do work . I then used the same panels for my Race Replica K1100. The seat is a modified R1 and the fairing for the Race Rep is a modified '09 Yam R6.

Well it looks fantastic and flows very well together, much more well thought out then the average streetfighter
