There was a large top box that was available for the K100 as an option. Not many of them around.

The parts lists show two top cases for the classic K bikes, a 22 liter and a 35 liter.

The 22 is the iconic model and the one you need to have.

Hey Mike, thanks for the pictures on the rear case. I probably won't upgrade or get the rear shock until the winter.

I've run into two particular issues, one being that the Antigravity battery that I bought seems to have issues charging. It's a 16 cell 480 cold cranking amps. The optimate charger I also bought with it specifically for lfp batteries or lithium-ion has the red flashing test light.
 The only thing I can think of that is on when the key is off, is the clock on the Acewell. The battery reads approximately 12.3 volts. I talked with Antigravity today and they told me to send in the charger and the battery, but I'm curious to know if it's the bike charging system or the battery. Bike starts up just fine. (I will update this post on alternator charge volts).

************************
The other issues is at 80 to 100% throttle the bike starts to slightly stall and stops accelerating. I'm wondering if the mixture is too rich, I'm also at 5800 elevation. There's supposedly an elevation key on this bike but I have not used it and I'm wondering if that is the issue. I had read somewhere that it was a useless feature but now I am curious to know your opinion Laitch or RBM.
**Im going down to sea level- Id like to see if that changes anything**

- Ill add an external switch for the elevation
- I also need to sync the throttle bodies, idle etc.
