Mine works....to a fasion. It has such a warped face plate the plate pushed the speedo needle off, and the lcd for gear selection has been sunburned for years. his all happened before I got it, I put a cloth over the cluster when I park in the sun.
In 85 the 4/7 litre K100RT and RS clusters are more or less the same.
I swapped my RT cluster for an RS one and it was a straight swap.
The mounting plate came with the RS one and when I went to put it on the RT id didn't fit. Close check, same part no cast into both but clearly different parts. The reason I was changing the mounting was the RS one came with the mounting attached and it was in much better condition. A hacksaw resolved the issue, cut edges coted and sealed and its been fine since.
If you box clever and your existing cluster has a good clock display you could get one with this not working at a better price and swap it over. Interestingly my K1100LT has led bulbs by the PO in ALL of the display including the charge light but needs 2500-3000 rpm to get it charging but all works perfectly.
