hi,
I have a 1987 "naked" 8V K100. Rear drive and drive shaft splines were found to be at end of life.
I did find a new drive shaft at a reasonable price, but a new rear drive is very expensive while 2nd hand ones I have seen so far are in questionable state.
However I do seem to recall reading somewhere that a paralever (16v K100?) bike's rear drive will fit on an older bike like mine - "just" have some unuses "extras". And new ones are far cheaper for some reason.
Can anyone pls tell me if this is so? Any downsides? references?
Thank you,
Roy
