Ok, I have searched and PM'd till I am blue in the face, I have an 85 K100RS and want to start (slowly) into a military/scrambler/GS/Adventure Dual Sport Bike, NOW can i get all that in one, sure I think so but would love some input from the Pro's on here and yes the listing below is gonna include (Ok how do I do that??) This will stay for now a 2 seat bike
Here is where I want to start
1-Dual Sport Tires, yes with knobs to an extent! Shinko 700 series I am pretty sure
2-leaving the front upper RS fairing and light on but wanting it to look Like Floyds build but not sure if he stuck with the RS fairing as it looks to have been trimmed some if he did
3-Moving the front fender up around 3-4" (Ok how do I do that??)
4-Driving lights (not sure what kind or where to mount)
5-Radiator guard without all the fiberglass (Ok how do I do that??)
6- Paint tank, fairing, and rear
7-Panniers and Rear Tail Rack(??)
8-Driving light guards and head light guards ( I know, but I like the looks of the mesh wire that would also be used on the radiator and any other place that you think)(Ok how do I do that??)
9-Hand guards (Ok how do I do that??)
10-Fork gaiters
11-Muffler that fits the theme of the build but doesnt cause any issues with the 2nd rider
Ok I know I am being scoffed at by the purist but please bear with me
and Yes I am starting with basically the same bike as Floyd, pic belongs to floyd!! And I havent been able to get in touch with Floyd yet:)
