Joe's 86 K100/EML GT For Sale

Thu Jun 10 23:53:35 EDT 2021

Joe Dille’s 75 R90S Daytona went quickly to a new home.  Now I’m concentrating on helping his wife Patti find a new home for Joe’s 86 K100/EML GT.

For those who may have an interest, or if not, please pass this on to someone who may:

Joe purchased this bike new in 86, then at some point in time, bought and installed the factory color matching EML GT sidecar kit, which was designed and built specifically for the K100.  The EML sidecar is without a doubt, one of thee premier sidecars in the business.  They are over engineered in my opinion and they also  require many, many hours, days, weeks or more to install… that’s if you know what you are doing.  Bob Henig of Bob’s BMW, said even his experienced mechanics may take two weeks or more to put one of these rigs together, if all goes well. 

EML incorporates its own leading link, Earles type front suspension for proper braking and handling, use their own rear suspension, brake calibers and disc rotors, wheels, hydraulics, electrics, lighting, sidecar mounts, steering dampers, etc. etc.  Then…. the rig has to be dialed in just right.

You don’t have to do any of this grunt work, Joe’s superior mechanical aptitude figured it all out, carefully and patiently put it all together one piece at a time.  Oh…BTW, there are lots of pieces, but when it’s complete and done right, you have something special, a rig that runs strong, brakes exceptionally and tracks like it’s on rails.  I’m a vintage airhead enthusiast at heart, but I do also ride my K100/EML rig all year long; it has become my go to bike in the winter.  You don’t have to be quite so cautious on those days when slippery patches may appear out of nowhere.  Oh…did I tell you how much children and dogs love to ride in sidecars!

The K100, at this point in time, was an excellent candidate for the EML.  The K100 engine is rock solid in design and build quality…1000cc, four cylinders, fuel injected, water cooled, electronic ignition, a true workhorse. What more do you want.  May even last a half million miles or more if properly maintained and not abused.

Now speaking of maintenance, I don’t think you will find anyone as fanatical as Joe was with his maintenance. Below is the complete service history of his 86 K100/EML GT.  Take note:  Yes there were some long periods of time when the rig was sleeping comfortably in Joe’s garage undisturbed.  The rig may not have moved one inch in a particular year, but the oil and filter got changed anyway….That was just Joe.

I hope someone appreciates the love and care put into this rig. Someone please give this sidecar a new home, It is in excellent condition, comes complete with factory BMW saddlebags, factory tank bag, factory tool kit, factory owners manual, service manual, aux. fuel and coolant temperature gauges, two custom sidecar covers for below and above the windscreen depending on use or storage…fresh engine oil and a full tank of fuel.  Well almost, I’ll admit I may have put a few miles on her in the past two weeks.  Check out how pampered and spoiled this girl was treated. Look at the mileage between oil & filter changes.

Here are the service records (in reverse order) for the 86 K100, EML GT
