Alright, so I've been going around New England looking at various K1s and I ran into a K100 that was spliced with a K1100. The owner of the bike bought it off a builder, who was putting together a track bike and stopped midway for whatever reason.
Let me preface this, I'm not a mechanic / engineer just a guy who loves all things on two wheels. From my cursory research, it looks like I could run into complications with the speedo/ECU compatibility. I've read threads where people have put K100 engines into their K1100 frames but maybe I wasn't looking hard enough for the other way around.
Could anyone either point me in the right direction, or help me put together a robust list of things I'll have to have altered/changed/replaced for this to work. Or if this is just a non-viable option and I should continue my search for a pure K100.
Thanks in advance & cheers.
