My poor old K100 RS was looking rather tired and worn in places. It was time to either get rid or repair and restore. I've always liked the look of the K100/2 so I ordered all of the necessary parts from my local BMW dealer over the course of the next 18 months.
I was pleasantly surprised to find that virtually every single part number was still available. Most had to go on 'back order' and came from the factory but they still reached me just a few days later. Now that's what I call efficient!

The Ohlins shock was bought on ebay from a really nice guy in Italy. The Remus exhaust and rearsets which are genuine BMW were obtained from ebay in England unused. When Bluebell BMW (my local dealer) stopped trading in bikes, I got the last of the parts I needed from Motorworks and Motobins.
I'm really pleased with the result and the streetfighter look. The riding position is very comfortable compared to my Triumph T595 Daytona.
