Here's another K100 build. I really like the simplicity of the big old block with the shaft drive coming out the back and then the bare minimum to make it function.

I remember in the early 80's a guy used to race one in NG in BEARS and unlimited classes. He did really well on it, so fundamentally OK, Of course with these specials, it will depend on how much of it is function and how much form. The one above doesn't look like Braking will be an issue! They'll all be significantly lighter than the standard bike as well! :)
