If you run into another roadie from San Diego riding a B.Holland Ti, he's a buddy who retired to Bend.
There's a pic in the forum of the rack I built for the K, works very nice.

Shouldn't be too hard to change over to an S model. BMW designed the K bike line to have a lot of interchangeable/common parts. A changeover isn't a bad idea. The RT is about as good as it gets for rolling coast to coast, but can be a bit clumsy and top heavy for daily riding in traffic. The S is a lot lighter and more fun to ride on a daily basis. I say this as the owner of both, and my RT only leaves the garage 2-3 times a year when I'm heading out to cover a couple thousand miles and a few states.

Is it a major project to make an RT into an S?I'm pretty sure the tanks are different and the S fairing won't wrap around the 22 liter tank.

That's probably true, which would still allow me to take off all the fairings, find an aftermarket 1/4 or 1/2 fairing, color match it and go with it!

I'm pretty sure the tanks are different and the S fairing won't wrap around the 22 liter tank.The radiators differ. The RT's is two inches wider and has 60ml greater capacity—data compliments of gone_ape's shade tree study (http://www.motobrick.com/index.php?topic=10877.0). According to the MAX BMW parts fiche, the K75S and K75RT fuel tanks are the same. None of this matters because Raydog was just looking to have his curiosity tended. He's going to make his moto tremendous in a different way.That's probably true, . . .

OK, so I went back to my desktop, inverted the KTM pic (put it upside down) then re posted it.
Kudu's for the effort. Tenacity like that will go a long ways hunting down electrical issues! Post pics when you start rehab'in the girl.
