Hi,
My buddy gave me his k100 after crossing Canada on it.
It had an airstream (?) windshield and bar risers. The bike was also lowered about an inch.
I restored it to normal ride height and removed the risers.
I hated the bike; the seat kept hurting my back...
Today, I reinstalled the risers (about 2" up an 1.5" back), and, WOW, what a difference. I can almost live with that seat now.
The only downfall is that now the windshield puts air in visor...
