So how much around about does one have to pay for a K1100 engine? and where do you guys find these things. I am clearly not looking in the right places.

I don't know anyone who has successfully restored a police spec to that level of completeness before. What are your plans for it - show bike? film work etc?

Find out from the studios and independent film company's who does their vehicle sourcing for TV and film. Other entusiasts of old vehicles at shows could be a good source of info too.
Typically they put together a register of who has what, to call on if needed, then rent them in by the day for filming.
Hope that helps a bit.

Very nice job - particularly in making the aluminum parts look better than new. I am using everything I can find to restore the aluminum to a brite new finish - I would love to hear your secret to the aluminum in particular. I have used steel wool, and all sorts of cleaners - can't get the spots out of the metals.
Your bike was obviously very well done. Great job.
