I just would like to show my little work on a K100lt from 1990.

[ManX84]

I did some mods, some classical some not :-)

- GSXR Fork.
- central rear chock absorber.
- remove the big air box and but the air flow vertically with a big cornet.
- carbone cockpit with push button to start and protected switch to cut ignition.
- candy paint (not realy rendering on pics of course but with big sequins, very lovely on sun)
- from scratch electrical harness based on Motogadget M unit.
- custom seat and seat cowl.

There a re some small things to finish, please be indulgent she just born 4 days ago !

hope you will love it !
( can't please everyone of course)

Who designed the central shock absorber system and its lower mount? Is wheel travel the same as with the original set up?

[ManX84]

I design it, this is experimental 
I made some simulation with Fusion 360.

I design and made aluminum parts for the lower mount.
(the rocker come from a sport bike)
And a professional melt it with TIG.

shock absorber itself is an YSS with a specific spring ( I bought 3 to find the one)

not sure same travel, but it work very very well!

I forgot in modifications list, wheel come from K1200, rear wheel have around 1 centimeter offset from central axis but if you don't know, it absolutely doesn't feel like driving

I noticed the Hyd clutch mod.  Are you still using DOT4 or did you change over to DOT5.
