They will fit if you can manage enough free space between the side cover and the fuel tank.
The base should be stamped with what series they fit. My old one was stamped K75/K100. The stamping should be visible if the bag us unzipped from the base.

From what I could figure out in BMW OEM catalogue, it would be 71602340658
Anyway, it got sold to Germany.
Now I ordered another bag made specifically for use with K1100 and hooks one has to install

This base did not have anything stamped (that could be seen on the ebay add pics).

That is the correct bag for the 1100's..... in fact, that 2nd picture is one I took of the clips on my '97.

The elastic on my k100 bag (like the yellow trimmed one) is showing age. Anyone replace it? Difficult?I had the same issue with my airhead Multivario bag and had the elastic replaced at a leather repair shop. I see no reason a decent shoe repair shop could not do it as they would also have the heavy-duty sewing machines.

I wasn't able to find any 2" wide elastic, best I could find was 1-1/2" wide. It fits, though it's not as snug as the original.

Just search for the "elastic band" in ebay.co.uk's "Crafts" section, or for "gummiband" in ebay.de's, and choose "Item location: worldwide" option
