Long story: I bought another bike. After struggling continually with the K100 and its PMS, I, in a moment of frustration, agreed to look at another basket case: this time a '77 Honda Goldwing GL1000. It was locally available and cheap. It was fitted with a fairing and panniers and mechanically, the bike is great. Engine runs sweetly and the PO used it every fortnight to ride some 500 k's to go flying. But, by appearances, the bike was tatty as hell. A rattle fit of body parts is putting it mildly. While we are getting road worthy and registration sorted, I told him to take the fairing off; as I wanted to build this bike into a hooligan scoot (naked rat bike).
On collecting the fairing bits, I noticed these were BMW fairings; suitably modified (with an angle grinder!) to fit the goldwing. But, the fairing is complete and repairable. Now I'm thinking. Will this fairing fit on the '84 K100? My bike has a round head light which this fairing will accomodate and I'm sure I can, in need, fabricate the brackets to fit.
