Title: How to convert 1991 K100RS from stock low seat option to standard height?
Post by: boerge on July 20, 2012, 08:14:49 AM: Hello,
This bike is new to me. I want to convert it to become a 100% original looking standard seat height bike.
Is this at all possible, and what do I need in order to do so? Side panels I guess, new seat, anything more? Mounting hardware?
I can provide pictures if needed.

Regards

Boerge

There is not a lot to change and you would be best to find someone who has a stock height seat that needs a low seat and do the change ove side by side if possible.
There have been a few here who have wanted to do a swap but I have not seen any lately.
If you drop around to the front verandar and introduce your self then have a poke around the yard sale you may find something there or put up a notice on the fence where all will see it. I am sure you will get a reply as usually the swap is wanted the other way.

So you are saying that the conversion can be done up to a stock/OEM look, i.e there are no differences in frame/mounting holes/bolts on the low seat version of my bike?

No differences in any of that. With the correct parts it's relatively simple to convert either way.

Current seat is a Corbin Gunfighter in great shape.

You will have to change your side panels, seat latching hardware, seat lock and tool tray when you go standard. I cant think of anything else that you need to change.
