Donovan Muller, a lifelong BMW enthusiast, inherited his father’s motorcycle dealership, Cytech Motorcycles, in South Africa. While custom builds aren’t their primary focus, they occasionally undertake unique projects to showcase their expertise. Their latest creation, a 1991 K 100 cafe racer, is a testament to their skill and passion.
Acquired from a customer seeking a trade up, the K 100 was transformed into a head-turning custom bike. With a focus on quality and craftsmanship, Cytech stripped the donor bike down to its essentials and rebuilt it from the ground up. A custom subframe, CNC-machined rear suspension linkage, and premium components were incorporated to create a truly one-of a kind machine.
The custom K 100 cafe racer is a stunning example of engineering and design. Every detail has been carefully considered and executed to perfection. The new subframe, solo seat, and LED lighting create a sleek and modern silhouette. The modified fairing, headlight, and windshield add a touch of retro charm. The upgraded suspension and brakes ensure a safe and enjoyable ride.
The custom wheels and tires provide excellent traction and handling. The new belly pan, top clamp, clip on handlebars, and bar end mirrors enhance the bike’s ergonomics and appearance. The custom roundels and Monza style filler cap add a unique touch. The engine has been tuned for improved performance and sound. The paint job is stunning and complements the bike’s aesthetic.
One of the most striking features of the custom K 100 cafe racer is the new subframe. This component has been completely redesigned to accommodate the solo seat and LED lighting. The subframe is also lighter and stronger than the original, which improves the bike’s handling and performance. The solo seat is another standout feature.
It is made of a combination of black leather and suede, and it features a diamond stitched pattern with blue thread. The seat is also comfortable and supportive, even on long rides. The LED lighting on the custom K 100 cafe racer is another notable feature. The taillight is small and discreet, but it is very bright and easy to see.
The turn signals are also LED, and they are located a bit further ahead than the original turn signals. The LED lighting on the custom K 100 cafe racer is not only stylish but also functional. The custom K 100 cafe racer is also equipped with a modified cafe racer fairing from Puig. The fairing is topped with a tinted windshield, and it encircles a high grade LED headlight supplied by Max Inc.
The engine on the custom K 100 cafe racer has also been tuned for improved performance. The engine has been given a once-over and refurbished where necessary, to then receive some fresh respiratory hardware for improved airflow.
Oxygen flows in through a bespoke intake manifold built from scratch. The engine also features a new exhaust system, which is made of stainless steel. The engine on the custom K 100 cafe racer is more powerful and responsive than the original engine.
The custom K 100 cafe racer is a truly stunning motorcycle. It is a perfect blend of style, performance, and craftsmanship. The custom K 100 cafe racer is sure to turn heads wherever it goes.
