BMW K100 Marrakesh [1983–1991] - Marrakesh K100 Kit

The Marrakesh Concept for the BMW K100

The Marrakesh Kit is designed as a modular conversion concept for the BMW K100. The coordinated components combine clean, minimalist styling with functionality, quick installation and the option to continue using the motorcycle with a passenger. The individual accessories are interchangeable and available separately, allowing the setup to be configured individually.

Front, Cockpit and Controls

• Headlight guard: handcrafted from stainless steel and treated with a durable powder coating. The required mounting hardware is included. Not approved for road use.
• Basic headlight: powerful headlight including bulbs and mounting hardware.
• Headlight bracket for the K-Series: powder-coated steel construction designed to accommodate the Basic headlight and optional Hubert fairing. It can also accommodate the bracket for the digital instrument. The original ignition switch assembly is inserted into the prepared housing. Distance between headlight mounting points: 203 mm. Not suitable for the K1100.
• Acewell digital instrument: replaces the original cockpit and features a black housing with a black bezel. Diameter 73 mm, height 41 mm. It displays engine speed, speed up to 300 km/h, trip and total mileage, time, maximum speed, and trip and total riding time, among other information. The blue-backlit LCD combines two digital lines with an analogue tachometer bar. Wheel circumference and speed unit are adjustable.
• Sensor and installation kit: includes a speed sensor with magnet, wheel and fork brackets developed specifically for the K-Series, wiring with waterproof connectors and installation instructions.
• Relay for the K-Series: a specially developed circuit for correct operation of the neutral indicator with an aftermarket instrument. Recommended in combination with the Acewell instrument. Dimensions: 16 × 16 × 45 mm.
• Four Basic turn signals: compact turn signals with bulbs and wiring; the front turn signals feature an orange light on the rear.
• Steel handlebar: attaches to the original risers. No cables need to be replaced apart from the brake hose. Width: 78 cm.

Fork and Bodywork

• Fork gaiters: rubber gaiters to protect the stanchions, particularly when riding off paved roads. Suitable for the K models.
• Neoprene fork protectors: two protectors with hook-and-loop fasteners to protect the fork sliders and cover the area between the triple clamps. Installation does not require removal of the fork.
• Front fender: made from special resin with carbon-fibre reinforcements and a matte-black finish. It is supplied ready to install with metal brackets for attachment to the fork.
• Tank side panels: left and right panels made from special resin with a matte-black finish. The included brackets allow installation on the original mounting points.
• Side panels: a pair of ABS side panels made specifically for the K-Series. They are installed using the corresponding brackets and screws without drilling, welding or otherwise modifying the frame.

Exhaust, Rear and Seat

• K100 silencer: handcrafted silencer with a stainless-steel connector, titanium rear silencer and removable dB killer. The TIG-welded construction is lighter than the original design and still allows the motorcycle to be used with a passenger. A complete homologation report is provided. Four adapters are available separately for the 16-valve model with a one-piece silencer.
• Rear frame with license plate holder and taillight: visually shortens the rear section and repositions the license plate and included approved taillight. Special expansion fittings allow attachment to the frame without welding or subsequent painting. The original rear fender can be retained or replaced with a classic aluminium version.
• Rear frame contents: painted metal frame, taillight with bulbs and aluminium license plate holder with mounting points for the Basic turn signals. The turn signals are not included with this component. License plate holder dimensions: 185 × 185 mm.
• Seat: first-quality genuine leather, water-repellent canvas inserts and hand-guided stitching with cotton thread. The ABS base is supplied with a mounting frame for the K75 or K100. The seat can be removed quickly to access the storage compartment. Maximum length: 55 cm.

Styling and Travel Luggage

• Marrakesh tank graphics: a pair of modularly arranged decals with a protective UV film. The individual elements can be combined with different spacing for understated or sportier styling.
