3 spoke wheel

[ming]

hi all
i saw this bike advertised on fleabay, its an k1100 with the non floating discs, 4 stud fixing same as the k100, what wheel is this off as every other k1ioo wheel i've looked at is mounted differently?
many thanks

That looks like a K100, ming. It has a 2-valve K100 camshaft cover, 2-valve air intake system, and two-pot instead of 4-pot brake calipers.

Incidentally, the front discs on that Brick are floating discs which, as is obvious, can be had for K100 and K75 models. The fork looks K100. The wheels are likely stock 2-V mounted with the widest tires that will fit between the fork legs without rubbing them.

hi laitch
so that front wheel is from a k100? thought only the later k1100 and the rt models had 3 spoke? as i said earlier the discs are definately k100 but i can't reference a three spoke with those discs?
cheers

I've discovered in my life that thinking isn't everything it's cracked up to be, ming.  Attached is an image from MaxBMW's parts fiche showing a three-spoker front wheel available for the 2-valve K100 models in the later years of their production. The late K75 models could get them, too. Mine has them.
