BMW K1 RACER 1.2
Introducing the second unit of the K1 RACER series… The BMW K1 RACER 1.2, a custom bike with a very sporty look that breaks away from the styles used to transform motorbikes such as the BMW K100. This project has been carried out at Lord Drake Kustoms, a customisation and transformation workshop for BMW motorbikes in Spain (Malaga).
ELEGANT AND AGGRESSIVE
Francisco Alí Manen (owner of LDK), was commissioned by a customer who had already seen the first BMW K1 RACER, a NEORACER style transformation as defined by Fran himself.
This customisation work on a BMW motorbike is one of the most impressive that has been done on a k100 model to date in LDK’s motorbike modification workshop.
Transformed from start to finish, it is not the usual modified BMW K100, it is an elegant, aggressive and above all unique custom bike.
MODIFICATIONS
The work on the BMW K1 RACER 1.2 started with the installation of an upside-down fork, the rims were kept as original, then came the tyres, discs and brake calipers. Of course it had to be fitted with half handlebars and then we proceeded to remove the entire subframe and cut and modify part of the chassis to begin to shape what would be the new rear of this spectacular BMW K100 transformed.
Semi-handlebars
Rear tailpiece
Handcrafted upholstered seat
Turn signals 3.1
All this work has been accompanied by a Motogadget Pro digital odometer and set back foot controls for BMW K100.
The modified exhaust, the whole central exhaust manifold handcrafted with a stainless steel tailpipe gives a brutal sound to the BMW K1 RACER 1.2.
In addition, and like its predecessor, it is fitted with a V-Rod headlight, Motogadget front turn signals and 3:1 rear turn signals and other details in all the endless modifications that this custom bike created by Lord Drake Kustoms with a BMW K100 base has.
MARTINI GRAPHICS
The paintwork is inspired by “Martini” graphics and colours with a graphite grey background and all with a gloss finish.
