Hey all! First post here, bear with me.

I’m rebuilding my K100RS -84 and currently working on swapping the wheels. 

I wanted to swap the originals for K1200 wheels, but they are really hard to get hold of. So I managed to get myself a set of R1100S wheels for a good price.

Now to my problem. The original rear brake disc is 285mm in diameter, and the R1100 have a 276mm disc, which means that the calliper will have 9mm less disc surface to grip.

Will this be an issue? By just looking at it it doesn’t feel like it’s going to be. But wanted to make sure and check with you guys and see what you think. To make it work I will have to add some calliper spacers as well since it’s a different offset on the R1100S wheel.

I’ve searched a lot regarding this issue, but I can’t find any relevant information regarding the R1100S wheel which has the disc mounted on the wheel.


Thanks in advance!

Another naked K100, hence your phrase 'bare with me'. Are you cleverly hoping to uncover something new & untried in your build, or meaning to ask us to be patient with you as you learn? We can bear that.

The caliper meant for a larger diametre disc will shred the brake pads against the smaller disc with use, & probably look pretty amateur. Try sourcing a final drive cover that accepts a smaller Oilhead caliper/pads, R1100S wheel & disc spacing of your choice. Searching the forum (& asking the Google gods) will reveal several who have done this already. It will require careful internal shimming, & is added time & expense but more sound engineering.

An additional helpful item for the forum members is to place the year & model of your bike(s) in the signature line of your profile to avoid those who offer advice having to ask what you're working on.

Good luck with your project.

Sorry, but I can’t tell if you are being sarcastic or not. I sorted out the grammar problem at least.

The reason I said so was mainly because I have really tried to search and find a good solution, even with the almighty Google. I didn’t want to get flamed for my first post.

Anyway, thanks for the tip! That was actually my plan B. I don’t have to replace the whole final drive to a paralever right? Only the cover with the attachment for the smaller calliper from an oilhead? 

I will try searching again and see what this shimming you speak of is all about.

Oh, and my bike is a -84 K100RS, will get this in my signature

There was no sarcasm involved in TWB's reply at all - it was a play on words 'bare', 'bear' and 'naked'. Sometimes we forget that second-language English speakers may not get the joke.

Allright, my bad Smile ! Yeah the language barrier is tricky sometimes. Even more so on the internet!

I appreciate all the help I can get!

No sarcasm meant, merely a poor attempt at humour. And it was very early here.

The large bearing, seal & o-ring for Monolever & Paralever final drives are the same, so in theory these covers should be interchangeable. I can't recall which forum member, but he put together a wire-wheeled K100/K1100 using the final drive cover from an Oilhead. He was from Russia, as I recall.

Here is the link to the story of the K1100 with the wire wheel conversion. Unfortunately most of the photos are not showing up on the thread so the owner may have removed them. The story may assist with your project.

Thank you very much! I saw this video before, but I must have missed the part where he swaps the final drive cover.

Ehm... the rear wheel of thye R1100S is the same as for the K1100RS, and the disk can stay at the final drive.
Only need more spacers, or a complete K-16V rear and gearbox for the paralever.

R1100S use the five spoke 17" stylised wheel as compared to the three spoke 18" K1100RS, or similar design three spoke 17" K1100LT. Not quite apples & oranges as far as fit goes but the taste will remind. Unless you're thinking 18" three spoke R1100R, Arlina...

I found this very useful when fitting 5 spoke wheels to a k1100RS.

Shocked  You're right in there.....
My mistake came in with the R1100S last year, just for an ordinairy service, but the S had the 3-spokes in it.
Since I don't like the S, didn't took notice that the wheels are wrong.
The only 4V R for me is the R1100RS  Smaller brake disc, will it be an issue? 1f60d

That woulda been a heap of extra work to fit older three spoker wheels to an R1100S model, most especially in the front. The front axle/bearings, brake disc mounting and caliper spacing to 'fork' leg are all distinctively different. Someone had some fun! Maybe they whacked an earlier R Telelever onto it.

I’ve actually managed to get hold of a K1200RS paralever final drive with the correct cover and a Brembo calliper from a R1100RT to go with it. It’s in the mail as we speak. Will be interesting to see how it works out!

Unfortunately 1997 through 1995 K1200RS (& GT) models use a similar pad set/caliper style as earlier K bikes so you'll have to rethink that one.

Hmmm, thats wierd. When I googled the partnumber ( 2 314 884 ) it shows that it fits bmw 1100 and 1150 aswell. This is an actual picture of the part I bought, it has the cutout in the cover that I need for the floating calliper:

The casting number 2 314 884 is not a good part number, but the part number(s) for this part are (33 11) 2 330 041 & older (33 11) 2 310 902. Both of these also fit Paralever final drives from R850, R1100 (but not RS) & various K1200RS & GT, as you are aware. The spacing you'll need is 90mm between bolt heads (all 10x25 or 26mm) and from the mounting boss on the final drive to the inner edge of the calliper it needs to be 23.5mm. We'll see when you get your parts. Cross yer fingers.

We have a '99 K1200RS here at the shop to measure against, but not an Oilhead to compare it to at the moment. I have an Oilhead at home I can measure against later on.

The seller said it was from a 97-01 K1200RS,
So hopefully it’s the right one…

Allright, thought I’d do a little update. Had issues with getting the wrong parts etc, so that’s why it’s been a while.

The R1100S brembo calliper fitted nicely on the K1200RS final drive! When test fitting my R1100S wheel on the final drive along with the calliper everything fits like a glove! All I need to do is adding 5mm spacers to the calliper and it will be perfect.

But, when I began swapping the final drive covers with each other I immediately noticed another issue. The K1200 uses M10 bolts whilst my K100 uses M8. I need your advice here.

I could just use M8 bolts and bigger washers, or I could drill out the holes and thread new M10 ones. I think there is enough material to do that. But maybe that’s not necessary?

The K1200 cover is also slightly bigger on the outer diameter, 2mm. So there will be a little “lip”  on the outside. It fits nice and snug inside the final drive and I’m sure it will seal properly. They are both identical except that.


I didn’t manage to insert all the pictures in the same post. So I had to make several below.

Let me know what you think!
