On my 1983 K100RS I decided to make various changes and have successfully fitted a Pirelli radial 160/60 R18 to a 3 spoke K1100 18" x 4.5 rim. This has been done in conjunction with other upgrades and modifications.
Centre Stand Modification: I modified a K1100 centre stand by widening it. I then fabricated a steel plate which fits between the centre stand mount and the base of the engine block (the K1100 has different mount hole positions to the K100 one).These centre stand modifications have made it easier to lift the bike onto the stand.
Exhaust System Modifications: I have fitted an aftermarket exhaust collector and a carbon fibre muffler for weight reduction. To get muffler clearance with the left side of the tyre I machined an aluminium spacer that fits onto the left foot peg plate.
The above mods were done with 2 objectives: benefit from a radial rear tyre with improved performance; reduced weight.
Not sure I understand this. I have put the complete K1100 stand assemblies on all my 2v Ks and its a straight change, same gearbox mounts etc. . "
