As far as the seat hinge, it should be welded to the frame. I'm guessing that the fix is to get a chunk of 5 or 6mm rod and weld it to the frame. No need for the clip on it, the seat portion of the hinge isn't going to slip off as long as the rear hinge is in place.

Martin, the photos are of an 1100 which I think has a different arrangement for attaching the battery covers. The pin on the tail cowl in the pictures is correct.It does look a little "buggered up" whynot weld it to the plate and bolt it back on ?

Looks like I may have to try to fabricate a replacement. Maybe use a screw/bolt and a piece of angle iron.That looks like a homegrown assembly anyway, unless the bolt in it was sold by BMW for $50. :laughing4-giggles: Maybe a member with a K1100 will post a photo of an 1100's stock seat hinge pin assembly.

It's exactly the same as K75s and K100s and seats are interchangeable among K75s, K100s and K1100s.

While I've never owned an 1100, every one of the 5 K bikes I have owned had the pin the seat attached to welded to the frame.
I am pretty sure the part in the photos was fabricated by a previous owner. If it was my bike i would weld a replacement to the frame.

I think I’ll try to make one like the (un)original as I’m not a welder. APiece of angle and a bolt may work.

APiece of angle and a bolt may work.I believe we already have empirical data concerning that method. :laughing4-giggles: Come on, beemuker; it's time to meet to new people (who weld) and learn new skils, to spread your wings and fly, fly, fly!
