BMW K 100 Audrey Has No Shortage of Juicy Upgrades and Custom Bavarian Charm

As the project’s basis, Dan picked a BMW K 100 for its reliable and customization-friendly nature. Even though the donor’s inline-four engine was in pretty good shape, he still gave it an invigorating refurbishment just for good measure. The lubrication and cooling systems have been upgraded in the process, and then you’ve got the obligatory intake and exhaust mods.

Oxygen makes its way in through a bespoke manifold topped with an aftermarket pod filter. On the other hand, the original exhaust made room for a handmade stainless-steel substitute ending in a Competition Werkes muffler. This new plumbing was pieced together by Pipework Technologies, while the replacement subframe has been seamlessly installed by the experts over at Ellaspede.

The custom-made rear framework comes with an integrated LED taillight, and suspension duties in that area are now managed by a piggyback YSS shock absorber. Audrey bears the rear hoop of a K 1200 from 1999, joined by a swingarm-mounted license plate bracket nearby. At the front, we find the 43 mm (1.7-inch) upside-down forks, triple clamps, and five-spoke wheel of a 2008 Yamaha R1, together with its beefy six-piston calipers.

In turn, the brake calipers are mated to HEL Performance hoses and 310 mm (12.2-inch) aftermarket rotors from MetalGear’s catalog. Plentiful grip was mandatory, of course, so both wheels got cloaked in premium Metzeler rubber to keep Audrey glued to the tarmac. The motorcycle’s bodywork is a mixed bag, with the unmistakable factory tank still in play and accompanied by an assortment of fresh bits.

Down south, you’ll notice an off-the-shelf tail section topped with a stylish black leather seat, which features stitching done in BMW’s M colors. The subframe’s underside is enclosed in flat metal plates acting as a mudguard of sorts, and the front fender is a 3D-printed item from Messner Moto. Vortex clip-ons and CNC-machined rearsets round out the ergonomic side of things.

Aside from the taillight we’ve mentioned earlier, the creature’s lighting package also comprises bullet-style LED turn signals and a top-grade headlamp. The cockpit area houses digital instrumentation and snazzy grips from Motogadget, as well as a pair of underslung bar-end mirrors. All the electronics got hooked up to a custom wiring harness fashioned by Dan Scott himself, and the icing on the cake was a Martini-themed colorway laid over a grey background.
