I am starting the build, and going to take a long time to complete it, around 6-9 months. The main reason is time to work on the bike, but also, this is my first build ever on a motorcycle. I am excited to get started and doing a lot of research and viewing a lot of different looks to see what I like. I am sure all of this will evolve as I work on her.
So, with all projects, there has to be a "nickname" right? Well, she is blue from the factory and I like blue, so we will call her...BlueJ. BlueJ is a 1985 K100 RT in mint condition, well mint as in 33 years old and has sat outside for the past 2 years if not more. She has a bit over 33k miles on the clock. I have some photos I took today of and I will try to keep up with more as I go. My plan right now is to do the following:
1. Strip the bike 100%
2. Powder coat the frame and maybe the wheels
3. Clean the engine and replace anything that seems to be broken and overall maintenance without opening the motor
4. Paint the tank and any other parts needed
5. Customize with new gages, lights, and other sh!t that is needed
6. Reassemble
7. Ride of into the sunset
Without further adieu, here she is!
