Hey guys,
Thought I'd start a thread as I build my 1991 K100RS to fit into the more modern era and my personal style. Picked it up as a 2 owner RS with ~47000 miles on it, and LT fairings fit to it somewhere along the way. I stripped the fairings off to find everything from mouse nests to hornet nests hiding under them. The plan is to go with a more modern naked bike look with hand made fairings. My inspirations are bikes like LaDini, Mike Flores K100, "The Hornet", and similar bikes. I plan on keeping as many parts during the build BMW as I can, and therefore am converting the front forks to a S1000RR setup which I already have. I plan to retain the original throttle tube and right hand controls as well as the heated grips. I am planning modifying the K100 throttle body to adapt to the 2 cable throttle tube (being an engineer and having a machine shop at your disposal can cause me to make projects more challenging than that need to be). I am removing the stock ABS, and I plan at this point to use a motogadget gauge, so the wiring should be fun to figure out. So far this is where she is at!
