Hello all,
This is in regards to a 1992 k100rs (16valve). As I get closer to graduating college and going on more long trips (camping etc), I'd like a bigger windshield. I've looked in to windshields like the aeroflow, laminar lip, etc, but none of em really give me that "damn that's cool" feeling. I'd love to put an LT upper fairing on it, and am wondering if it's even possible. As far I know, here's what I would need:
k1100LT upper fairing
K1100LT touring dash
A windshield for said fairing
I can likely use the RS inner side fairings still
I can find a way to mount the fuel / temp gauges somewhere
Some LT bars, because I also want the riding position
-due to LT bars, a longer brake line, and I can splice some wire in where needed for controls
-longer throttle cable?
From what I've seen so far, the 16v k100 is basically a k1100 that's got a slightly smaller engine. This is why I'm saying I'd use k1100 fairing etc etc. Is this an accurate assumption, or does it even matter if I use k100LT fairing vs k1100LT fairing?
Am I missing anything? Is this even possible, or am I barking up a tree?
