When I began looking for a donor bike over 6 years ago, I'm not sure I ever thought I'd sell it, but here we are!\r\n\r\nMy vision when I set out to build this cafe was to lean in on some OEM traits, such as the cast finish engine covers, and the front brake line routing through the steering tube (Yes that's an original feature of the K100)\r\n\r\nThis is one of two K100 bikes I own, the other has remained original and has a good deal of sentimental value, but I've been very proud of this cafe build, and it turns a lot of heads. I'll be paying attention to any questions throughout the week, and look forward to the result.\r\n\r\nThanks again,", "likes": 4, "timestamp": 1748900961, "type": "comment", "endDate": "2025-06-02 21:49:21+00"}, {"id": 17832962, "authorName": "Elagarto", "authorUrl": "https://bringatrailer.com/member/elagarto/", "bidAmount": 0, "content": "Just out of curiosity, why isn't the neutral light wired?", "likes": 1, "timestamp": 1748901270, "type": "comment", "endDate": "2025-06-02 21:54:30+00"}, {"id": 17833082, "authorName": "100RS (The Seller)", "authorUrl": "https://bringatrailer.com/member/100rs/", "bidAmount": 0, "content": "@alagarto An oversight on my part really, the K100 uses the same switch for gear indication as for neutral.
