The white fairing is the one that came off my 85RT. The black is a spare which I got as part of a job lot of bits. Anyone know the story with the differences? RT vs LT perhaps? The one I have on the bike right now is supposed to be an LT fairing but does not have those holes.





Regards, Sean.

They are interchangeable and I believe the LT was the only one with the flaps but not all had them. Now days the way they have been canabized the vents can come on anything.

The vents came on the LT model in 06/88.

The middle section of the predrilled holes for the screen is different on the RT vs. LT.

Thanks for those answers!
Glad they are just vents and not something hideous like location points for reflectors.

I replaced my 1993 k1100lt faring with one from a 1985 K100rt. no difference at all. My electric screen bolted up to it.

Sean if we all turn up in october rickmiester can show you how they work as he showed us on wednesday Cute little idea. Now desparately doing OT to cost up the october run. I been waiting for a mate to do a weld job for me on some bars for lowered forks, still waitin, he's the spray painter I am to use to fix the wear and tare on my body parts afore i peice it back together. (hope he paints quicker than he welds) but anywho you just gotta see these things their a hoot of an idea

See what things?? Enquiring minds now wish to know.

See the vents and how they work mate, you know the obolong holes in the other fairing you enquired about, its all right we often forget things when in shock. Jon Lord died and I am in shock, bloody great keyboard artist he was.

Oh...you mean they actually WORK..lol. Sorry.
Yeah, I heard he died. I can't believe he was in his 70's.
I wasn't in shock, just my normal thick self.
Sharp Sean they call me. Sharp as a bowling ball.

Seen the pic of your bike and then looked at your avatar, must have been taken in the northern hemisphere? It seems upright?? The pic explains the new fairing another sharp event there sharpie
