Martin's suggestion is the way to go and opens the possiblility of restoration.

It works because all the repair needs to do is hold the screen forward in the opening. I just put the screen in with the remaining intact tabs, and then install the screw with the brass.
If I can get some time tomorrow, I'll take the trim off and try to get a photo of what I did.

The tabs on the K1100RS screen are at an angle, not flat with the screen surface. That aside from the fact they are outside of the edge. There is no marking on this plastic part, so I can’t check Model application with a part Number on the Gustafson site. Holding it up to the fairing makes it obvious not intended for this bike. I guess there are folks that think K100 / K1100 parts are interchangeable..... If Gustafson is still in business, I may try to contact them on the subject.

The screen I have is Option 2, with a 4” top extension. Again copied from the Gustafson site. [ Invalid Attachment ] [ Invalid Attachment ]

I guess I didn’t know there was a K100RS and K1100RS both in 1993? Is that correct? From the Gustafson site, this shows the same style upper fairing as a K1100RS. Of course the screen mounting is not clear here but I can see how a person would assume they are the same.Assumptions are the Devil's tools. :laughing4-giggles:
The K1100RS was introduced in 11/92 and K100RS production ended in 02/92 according to MaxBmw's parts fiche. Where Gustafsson got its information is anybody's guess.
Gustafsson offers a screen for the K100RS. It doesn't offer one for the K1100RS. There are ways to find out if one will work on the other, among them—trying to install it, or contacting the company for an explanation.

These screens are completely interchangeable between all the bikes I've owned. This makes sense because the fairing itself is the same part number across all models as well.

I haven't the slightest idea. Just spent 20 minutes I'll never get back looking for a photo of the screen installed on a K100RS. I am beginning to doubt that anyone has figured out how to install one of those screens on a K100RS.

I'm glad I've seen this thread cause I like the RS, but prob be way too loud for my ears, this screen is a good one. Maybe it came with four brackets to bolt on where the lugs are. Or make them.
