Hi there everyone, 29 year old dude from Sweden who bought a K100LT 1991 year model september 2015, been driving bikes since i was 22 and i always appreciated BMW bikes and always wanted to make a cafe conversion of one. Now i know there are a lot of K lovers who think the bike is excellent in its stock condition and i agree with that but i've decided to rebuild mine to a cafe racer, hopefully the members of this community will respect my choice and not comment on how i have ruined the bike =)

I've decided for the K100 because the price was good and it is known for being a  reliable, sturdy and indestructible bike, looking at other brands for the cafe racer conversion the BMW K100 was a natural choice with its brembo brakes, bosch electronics and its big front forks. I bought mine for approximately 1300 euros (13500SEK).

The build is almost done and pictures will be coming up, just dont know if i should post them here or in another thread.

Looking forward to browsing around this forum and hopefully learn a lot of new stuff regarding this bike and maybe even get some of my own future questions answered. You'll have to excuse if my english is a little bit sloppy but after all it is not my mother tounge.

Best regards,

The Swede
