Also from Arkansas . . .
I am on my second K-bike but want to take a different approach with this one.
My K-75S was a beauty, near perfect and with plenty of power for my modest riding style. It was almost stock when I bought it and stayed that way when sold.
However, I want to trim my newly-acquired '93 K-1100LT of every bit of superfluous weight.
I want to minimize fabrication as much as possible and my mechanical/electrical skills are modest, at best.
I have designed the seat replacement, but am a bit stumped at the front?
1. Does someone make a bracket to mount the factory instrument cluster so that I can discard the bulky existing cluster/fairing mount?
I had a link (now lost) to a snazzy German-made replacement gauge cluster, but for the time being, the existing instrumentation is fine.
2. Are there front/rear fenders (preferably aluminum) that will mount with the factory bosses or with a simple bracket?
3. Does anyone have any other tips or "gotcha's" about this effort?
Regards,
Jay H
