A project made possible by member Point-Seven-Five. All the parts necessary to put my bike in K1100RS trim. The extra required was the inner fairing brackets for the mirror extension parts, which I sourced used from MotorWorks, and some hardware. A spare set of turn signal/mirror housings came in the package too.

The fairings were in perfect condition save for a few scratches here and there-no big deal. I sanded all the bodywork, filled and sanded a few scratches with Bondo and then it was off to the painter.

A few photos from yesterdays first ride of the season.






Below, bike in original 606 Alaska Blue.

Man!  Your bike came out great!  That is a great shade of blue!  Glad those parts found their way to a good home.

Nice to see some of these old war horses being restored instead of hacked up into garage queens waiting to be abandoned.

Indeed! Thanks to you.

Nice job. That K1100RS fairing was the last designed Classic K fairing and the best looking.

I have a complete K1100RS fairing, sans rear cowl, in an original muted red (colour code & name unknown), that's wanting a new home. I rescued it from someone who just had to "make his K bike his own".

Your choice of that deep blue colour reminds me of a sweet K1100RS, modded with K1200LT engine, I bought some years back (late 2014?) that had made its way across the US thanks to a prominent local member, and somehow I ended up with it when a customer walked into the local shop where I work, & offered it up. It now resides with my younger brother in Massatucky, ridden when weather allows, & running as strong as ever.

Unless somebody repainted it that bike is a lighter blue: Seiden Blau - Silk Blue

For the sake of comparison, I've added a photo of my bike in its original colour, 606 Alaska Blue. I worked with the painter to get as close as we could get without either one of us losing our minds over it.

That's a sexy bike right there. My RS is naked. Kind of wish I had the fairings.
