This is the story of two bikes. Two K bikes to be specific. In fact two K100RT's, if you want to get down to facts. One bike came mostly put together, didn't run, and has blue fairings. The other is a little less put together, definitely isn't ready to run, doesn't have fairings, looks a little more pieced together, and has a green tank.
Meet "Fairing" and "Frankenstein"
Now right off the bat, you may notice a few things wrong with this picture. First off, Fairing and Frankstein have their tanks swapped. Secondly, there seems to be two extension cords within Frankenstein's frame. This is how they were purchased, and these are some of the things that I'm trying to figure out why! Haha.
Fairing and Frankenstein, were part of a package deal. In short, the deal consisted of:
-(2) 1985 K100RT "complete" bikes (Fairing and Frankenstein)
-1985 K100 Frame with spare motor and Trans (Supposedly 30K miles, trim level unknown)
-1986 K75 Frame and spare motor (with parts such as tank, tail, some fairings, etc.)
-Boxes of parts. Some new OEM, some used.
It seemed like a big project to take on, especially since I knew little about these bikes before the purchase. I've quickly tried to dive into these forums for answers, and have had some success so far. The following thread will follow the build of Fairing and Frankenstein. Stay tuned...
