Custom Bikes Of The Week: 12 July, 2020



A crisp Yamaha XT500 restomod, a BMW K100 from a Spanish motor racing shop, a classy Yamaha TT600RE tracker from France, and a custom FB Mondial built by a sculptor in Iran. How eclectic can you get"

BMW K100RS by Bolt Motor Co. The Spanish workshop has a knack for crafting classy ?flying bricks? and this new custom K100 follows the trend. The trick is to get a rising straight frame line from front to back, which gives the oilhead a powerful stance and sportier look.
On this 1986 machine, Adrián Campos and his crew have added the Marzocchi forks from a Ducati Panigale 1199, complete with Brembo monobloc brake calipers and 330 mm discs.

The triple clamps are custom made and CNC?d in house by Bolt?and designed to be a ?plug and play? fitment for custom K and R series BMWs with Panigale forks. The rear monoshock is from Hagon, and given that Bolt is part of a company that builds Formula 2 racing cars, we?re guessing the new suspension is dialed-in well. The aggressive-looking tires are Michelin Anakee Wilds, which fall into the growing category of rubber that looks dirt-oriented but grips remarkably well on-road too.

The cockpit is dressed up with Motogadget push buttons, plus an m.pro speedo hooked up to the top triple via a 3D-printed housing. There?s a new LED headlight with a 3D printed cover, and everything runs off an m.unit control box.
The K-series BMW might be pigeonholed as staid or conservative, but this is the kind of build that destroys stereotypes...
