Thanks man, love the hear this! Planning on doing two versions for the built video. One compressed, around 15 min and another one which could be an hour+ long. Would that be ok 😁?
Haha, paint your own tank they said! Yeah it's a skill! haha. Just like detailing, it's underestimated how much knowledge and skill comes with it. Love the front fender brackets man, awesome!
It's a skill for sure!! Brackets came out perfect, happy with them. I initially wanted to paint them, but decided to keep them brushed to keep the stainless part ging throughout the bike
I've watched a small number of your videos now and have enjoyed them all though this one has been my favourite so far. The "shit happens" made me laugh, the resignation in your tone 😀. Thanks for sharing.
Congrats! It’s a massive work but you seem to manage all the tasks quite well. I got one K1200RS here to custom for a client, they are not a common model in Brazil and your videos helped a lot to have an overview. Thanks and all the best from Caffeine Custom - Brazil
Thanks for the nice words my man! These K12's are most certainly a challenge to build! That must be the reason you don't see them to often customized. What are you plans for your build? Good luck and I'm happy to hear that the videos helped you along the way. Regards ✌🏼🫡
@ Thanks! I’m not sure yet wich way we go, I have to do some design studies first, but client wants spoked wheels for sure so this will be the first task. Probably going to 17” rear and front, build a bespoke gas tank and some metal fairing to hide the radiators. Let’s see how does it go 👊
geweldig mooi en goed gedaan, ik zal er mijn oude en originele k1200rs eens erlangs zetten, wat een verschil. Mooi paintwork ook. Zoals al eerder gezegd ben jaloers op uw skills, hahaha. Ben benieuwd op de testrit en nog meer beelden.
looks great. Ive been doing my own body work on a project car. Its frustrating. Also trying to match colours on an 25 year old car. Paint really shows the low spots :P
Next time, leave the strip in and bomdo it, there is no reason to strip it, it can only lead to leaks! (hope you did a check before painting!) Also that primer was way thinned down i think, that stuff should be thick when sprayed on, and it's best use it without thinner.
The strip was rusted out and would give serious problems when I would bondo over it. After I mixed up the primer is was thick, believe me. A pain to clean the gun afterwards
O shit man, the max is 1000 before clear! Evenbetter is 800, but 1500 and 2000 are for polishing, i hope the clear won't peel off in a few years, getting hot and cold!
Thanks buddy 🫡. You mean the oil cooler or coolant radiators? For both I didn't really had any other options. So much stuff that needs to find a spot in such a tiny space
Tankcure is vragen om problemen na een paar jaar, vooral als mensen gaan tanken met E10! Beter is voor het spuiten evaporust (of de zelfgemaakte variant) gebruiken, druk op de tank zetten, of met water vullen en checken voor lekkage, eventueel wat lassen of solderen.
@@corner.custom Haha op de verpakking zeker?! Heb het spul al vaak genoeg als rubberen klonten en gebarst plastic uit een tank zien komen, en mensen maar denken, hoe kan het nou dat dat die motor elke keer geen benzine krijgt! Mijn advies, doe het goed! (zoals je bij de rest heel erg goed doet!)
No worries. It turns out there a lot of different styles depending on the build year and USA/EU market. That's why I struggled so badly to find the right gasket set

Who's exited for the new build 🐌?
Love your work and hope you post a very detailed version of your built, to help the old times quality, now vintage BMW k1200 community.

Realy nice work! Turned out great!
Bedankt Doeke! 👍🏼👍🏼

Amazing rebuild; Amazing ideas.I'm sure you'll find the problem with the absent cylinders firing.
Thanks man 🫡👍🏼
This build is simply amazing 👏🏻 🤩
Thanks 🫡

Bedankt, mooi om te horen dat het gewaardeerd wordt. Verschil is dag en nacht vergeleken met de oorspronkelijke staat 😅

Haha yeah you can't hide anything when it comes to paint/bodywork. Good luck man!
DIK! Lekker bezig!
Bedankt😁👍🏼

I've asked multiple painters on how-to paint the tank and they told me this was ok to do. Time will tell 😁
@@corner.custom Afhankelijk van de lak en lakdikte die je erop spuit natuurlijk en het ontvetten, maar het is een risico! Hoop dat het houd!
Nice work on the bike. Not a huge fan of where the radiator ended up, but I'm sure you had your reasons.

Dit is E10 geschikt. Sowieso gaat het alleen de premium brandstof in👌🏼

Have you ever considered using an original K100 fueltank ?
I have seen a K12 with a K100 tank, but wanted to have a more "oldschool"/round look to the bike
Mooie fiets geworden!! Waar heb je dat zadel vandaan, of heb je het custom laten maken?
Thanks. Zadel gekocht bij caferacerwebshop en opnieuw laten bekleden door Miller Upholstery
Looks great, I am in the process of stripping mine, but can I ask what tank did you use ?
It's mentioned and shown in the video 😉, suzuki gs450
@corner.custom Yes, thank you, I did hear you mention Suzuki, just not which bike.
No worries. It turns out there a lot of different styles depending on the build year and USA/EU market. That's why I struggled so badly to find the right gasket set
Whats the sale price on this beauty?
This bike won't be for sale, at least not for a while. Planning on doing some riding next summer 😅
In my opinion hyper flash is safer
Haha there's a truth in that
