Well it wasn't that bad weather wise so I thought I'd try and fill the oil up and then get the bike started. Now that my much needed part has arrived. However didn't go quite to plan Found out that a crank case bolt has snapped, which means I'm going have to do some DIY with it. This crank case bolt held the fairing on so obviously as it went down the fairing snapped off and so did part of the bolt.
Also tried my R1100RS Seat on the k100RS to see what it would look like.

Ordered some bolts and will be getting to it on the weekend, see where I stand. ____________________ CB125>CG125>GN125>ER5>K100RS>R1100RS>K100RS

Well update time, weather has been kind post less so. I'm still waiting on some parts. However I did have a crack at the crank case bolt. Now as you can see from the image above it looked like it was going to cause some problems.
Didn't seem to be the case I pulled the crank case off simple bolts and two jubilee clips holding the water pipe on. And was presented with the problem.
On a side note considering this was found on it's side with no/little oil left inside. There doesn't seem to be any visual damage at all. However that isn't saying there won't be.

Had a go with normal pliers at first however didn't have any result didn't think it would. Then tried mole grips no go couldn't get enough on it. So I used a small flat bladed screwdriver and knocked it gently in the gap between the case and the bolt. Then tried the mole grips again voilà. Came straight out easily.

Crank case is back on and now just waiting for the bolts to arrive. I don't want to go ghetto and make some up. Don't really have any at the moment anyway.
Right now I'm waiting for bolts might as well do something else so I started on a side project for the bike. Managed to get this piece of metal from Marmalade. He wasn't really using it

And using my new Dremel 3000 (don't you just love new tools?) I used a few of the grinding discs two in fact so far and created this below. As you can see from the image it's not the cleanest of cuts but it still has more work to do on it.

Right now an update on the look of the bike plus few other minor things that have been done, I've removed the clocks and headlight bracket. I've purchased a new 7 inch headlight and brackets to fit the bike. Also removed the rear foot pegs, these were annoying to come off and were rusted. So used the Dremel to chop the ends off and pulled them straight out.

I hope it's a flame thrower attachment.
Edit - if that is a bit of Killalot's old silencer be careful, the K100 may reject the implant due to incompatibility of a superior machine ____________________ stinkwheel: He had an animated .gif of a cat performing fellatio.

I'm not happy to hear your K was nicked Smiler. I also ride a scruffy old K and I think of them as of zero interest to thieves. I leave mine on the street in South London with no anti-theft devices. What area do you live in? Was the bike nicked for joyriding or getting home from the pub or something? ____________________ Current bike: K1100RS.

I had similar on a Bandit once, my cam cover had been over-tightened and cracked. I took it to my local dealer who passed me on to a small independent workshop. They welded it up and helicoiled it and it was fine. I presume the bolt is just for the rocker cover?
The guy is right btw, they are matched to the camshafts. ____________________ NSR125RR - ZXR750H1 - ZX9R E1 - GSF600S - GSF600SK3 - VFR400-NC30 - SV1000N - ST1100-R - CBR900RR-R - GSF1200SK5 - GSF600SK1 - VFR1200FA - GSXR1000K2 - ZZR1400 D8F

The bolt is just for the rocker cover and crank case it attached to the fairing. Well anyway this doesn't really matter any-more as there is an update. Not true. New lesson learnt.
Be careful with cam covers and if you are unsure of doing it yourself get someone else to do it.
Anyway as I was saying update, don't you just love post Luckily after making a request on a face-book group specifically for k75/k100's I got a few people offer me parts. Most I already had so had to turn down. However did get one guy offer me a tail piece for postage. Bargain
Here it is not pretty but it will do the job.
https://i.imgur.com/6kWZFxSl.jpg
Sorry I can't be bothered how to remove a few screws or remove the seat I followed the haynes manual, it's pretty simple. Nothing complicated and nothing caused problems. So here is the old tail piece; what is left of it.
https://i.imgur.com/UBuufdil.jpg
Anyway I also had another parcel delivered today I forgot to take a photo of it, I'm not really good at this show and tell. It happened to be my new tank, now before anyone says you should of just used the old one. It had fire damage so I didn't want to risk anything getting into the engine.
Anyway I opened the parcel and found an invoice saying 85 RT Tank. Now this made my jaw drop a bit. My bike is an RS so I was wondering if it would even fit. Turned out after removing the old one it did. Not that hard to remove extremely hard to bolt back up.
Now the price of this tank was a measely £45 from ebay with postage. Which included the lock now considering the lock set was going for about £80 on it's own on ebay. I don't think I've done that badly.
https://i.imgur.com/LIsFpmwl.jpg
As you can see it looks rather nice with the red tank. Well it does in my opinion.
I did have a problem with the old fuel tank though not removing it but attaching the fuel cable to the new tank. You see part of the spout had snapped off and was still in the pipe. I forgot to take a photo as I was kinda rushing at the time when doing this.
However I tried something that came into my head I got an old bolt and tightened it up inside, so the head was clean against the pipe. Luckily this is the type that goes in the crank case as well and didn't have a rubber.
https://i.ebayimg.com/00/s/OTYwWDEyODA=/$(KGrHqQOKiIE6(gRoByvBPzguqyBL!~~60_35.JPG
As you can see a similar image above. With that tight I used a pair of pliers with back and forth and with a few seconds it budged then split free.
https://i.imgur.com/1CPTouwl.jpg
Right now I thought this was all done for the day, however how wrong I was luckily a neighbour that I've been helping to build his bike and that let me use his garage to change the clutch on the k100 popped around. I explained to him about the snapped bolt and that I've sent off a few emails to get prices. He asked me to take it off and bring it around.
Using his pillar drill he drilled a small hole inside it then used a small screw extractor to wind it out took a few minutes of steady nerves.
https://i.imgur.com/0LJcY1bl.jpg
However from the image below you can see it worked a treat. We tried a bolt to see if it would go in and the thread wasn't damaged even though the head looks it.
https://i.imgur.com/5L4sdKyl.jpg
Right so now the bike looks like this below.
https://i.imgur.com/VKHLH4j.jpg
Now what's left to do or what's to do next. Well I'm leaving it for tonight early nights are not good when you are not working in a garage.
First things first, the cam cover will go back on tomorrow, I'll drain some fuel from the R1100RS and then attach a spare battery. After filling with oil I'll see if she starts, hopefully this will be nearing the end of this part of the project. That might be tomorrow not saying for certain.
On the other hand; I'm waiting for bolts to come to attach the headlight, plus a few other parts which should get it looking much nicer and actually roadworthy again. This all goes down to whether the engine is ok. ____________________ CB125>CG125>GN125>ER5>K100RS>R1100RS>K100RS

Well I had a look at the bike and did a bit of extra work putting the cam cover back on and the rocker cover. Filled the bike with oil, now there are no more leaks. Headlight is on as well so that's good. Yes wrong beam pattern but it's not fixed or connected yet.
Seat has been priced up at £75 for cut to the shape I want, recovered and to be made comfier.
Did go and try start the bike the other day but found out that some of the wires are snipped on the brain box. Which means I'm most probably going have to re wire that. So close yet so far.
Bad image of both my bikes at the moment.

Well I meant to update this yesterday with the image however I think I'll include it in this post. Here is an image of the "brain box" wiring. Looks like it's going to be a fun job.

For anyone that is still interested, I've ran into problems with my other bike (R1100) clutch has gone. Replaced it with a brand new clutch and the clutch rod is now 5 mil too short. That's currently at another members so both bikes off the road.
Anyway I replaced the loom I couldn't be bothered with causing a potential fire hazard. And set about trying to get the bike started. I've had no luck as of recently. Everything was getting voltage however no cranking.
Now today I had a theory of pulling the plugs again after Marmalade suggested jump starting the starter motor whilst it was on the bike.
Tried jump starting however the bike still wouldn't turn over. Then pulled the plugs, now this below is not my image but I had basically the same.

Now Yes considering how the bike was found it hadn't really dawned on me to check them. Noob mistake I know.
However got the bike to crank over, just didn't start. I'm doing nights now so going get some sleep but will try the fuel down it's lug hole tomorrow to see if it fires. ____________________ CB125>CG125>GN125>ER5>K100RS>R1100RS>K100RS
