Off work at the present, due to a blind car driver running into the side of my K100RS, doing major damage to both the bike and my leg. Well I have fixed the bike, well nearly anyway, just awaiting on a couple of bits to arrive from motoworks. During the chase for bits I found and bought a couple of K100RS wrecks. One of the wrecks was a '88 that had less than 100,000 k's on the clock. I dropped the engine covers and bearing caps off it to have a wee look, crank was perfect but bearings showed some wear, not much, could have just put the caps back on and used it the way it was. But I thought I may as well throw a set of shells at it. If I am doing bearings it seems a shame not to go a bit further and slip in a set of rings, front and rear seals, do the water pump while its in bits etc etc etc. I spotted the BMW engine stand in the K1100 manual and thought that would be handy, so set about making one.
The K100 motor, on its stand ready to start stripping. The stand is mounted on a pipe fixed to the bench to enable the complete engine assy to rotate.
