rt or k1100 wheels on a k100?
« on: September 08, 2023, 03:22:04 PM »
hi all,
has anyone fitted a rt1100 front wheel on k100 forks? the discs are bigger by 20mm and they are floaters not fixed. a bracket could be made to offset the calipers but will the 4 pot rt caliper fit on the mounts? would be a great upgrade as the k100 brakes are dogshit!!

What I do is swap in the K1100 forks too.

are the 4 pot calipers for the later k1100 the same eye to eye measurement as the k100?

Some people have made adapters to run 4V wheels/brakes on 2V forks.

Here's an example:
