well i,ve finally decided to get out of the shed and tap a few lines out to introduce myself to one and all , name is steve and get called woodcutter aka woodpecker , i live in the west side of the grampians in victoria have a great little plot of dirt here ( 5 acres) and far from the crazy world in the city , been riding bikes most of my life since age of 15 first bike was early 60's trumpy bonneville paddock bike , frame, tank ,2 wheels, dunlop trials universals, something resembling a seat , then had a stint into jappos for a while r3 ,r5 yammys, had an xs2 650 on and off for years spent a lot of years travelling and working seasonal work around this great country of ours , settled in sydney for a time , live north of cairns just south of cooktown on and off , back to sydney buying , riding , racing bmw's ,ducati's, laverdas, in formula european, BEARS , etc anyway to cut a long story into a short one i,m now living in victoria and have a nice 1987 k100 basic with the optional k75c fairing , 78,000 original klms and is on CPS great bike ive set it up well , now i also bought a 1988 k100rt in below average condition to strip the ugly fairing of it and build a custom, so every thing thats was bolted, cable tied or held on with insulting tape is all taken off to a bare frame , frame has been sandblasted and painted in a super fantastic paint from VALSPAR it called direct to metal, 2 pack , tough as it comes leaves ordinary 2pack , and powder coat for dead, originally was going to put the old 2 valve motor back in but had issues with white spotty corrosion due to being on the coast at portland , so i found an 1985 motor and used that as it only has 53,000 klms original , and was going to mate it up to the monolever , then i sourced a 1994 k1100lt gearbox, swing arm and FD to use , new rear main seal alternator seal , gear selector seal , input seal @ g-box new clutch and bolted it back together as a unit .NOW i spotted a supposedly K100RS 16VALVE motor advertised on fleabay watched it relentlessly and ended up getting it a very good price so the guy could pay his rego on his pristine 1993 FZR 1000 , yes you guessed it ENTER JASON aka HALO lmao what a great guy he is tops in my books and he sent me 20 pages of the k100 forum on his relentless trials and tribulations with his K so i went up to his place in the hills and squaffed cups of yorkshire tea and talked bikes and past experiences with him slipping the odd nip of jamieson as the tall tales but true continued through out the day , now it was a real shame to see all his hard work and relentless effort on the bench looking like a mob of lizards and snakes had shed their skins all over the shed floor from the clear coat he used the japs tried using it in the 70's & 80's and it turned poxy yellow colour and peeled also , HALO convinced me to go on the forum and look for advise " SEEK AND YE SHALL FIND " lmao with this 16 valve motor i bought from him im not sure if its a k100rs 16v OR k1100 16v motor , as you learned pipple well know early 2v k100 engine number started as 104EA , and i assume a similar code for the 16v , the k1100 rs /lt had a engine number starting with 114EA to indicate 1100cc , and the k1200 starts as 124EA to indicate 1200cc , now this motor of jasons is weird ??!! the engine number is MBM098745M738902179 can any one tell me is it a 1000cc 16v or an 1100cc 16v , methinks possibly a k1100 lt shipped in as a factory bmw cop bike either to victoria , nsw , who knows and then fitted out with all the bells and whistles i would really like to find out before i start buying engine looms and frame looms , ecu,s etc etc etc , i read your reply rick g , and blakey , and ducky re using a 2 valve loom and tweaking the 2v ecu , spoke to ray peakes and he said it could be done but easier with the proper looms , also which way do i go with the ECU's motronic 2.1 or motronic 2.2 any way need to go and make a coffee and chill out ok any help will be greatly appreciated , and i will be giving HALO encouragement and assistance with his k resto as best as i can for all his effort ,and the wheelbarrow full of $$$$$$$$ he's put into it cheers guys and we might catch up on a ride some day maybe a camping trip to the grampians for those of you interstate i have 5 acres here plenty of room to pitch a tent million $$$$$$ views and some great roads to be explored cheers steve
