Hi! I recently acquired a 1985 K100RS and have already benefitted from a lot of good information posted on this site. I've owned lots of motorcycles but this is my first BMW bike. I can already tell that K-bikes are a dangerous gateway drug to some kind of Beemer addiction.
I expected it to be a bit of a project bike when I bought it and true to its reputation the K-bike has been fairly easy to work on. So far I've done a bunch of work including replacing just about every rubber part on the bike, changed all the fluids and filters, replaced the radiator fan, coolant temp sensor, Hall Effect Sensor, plugs, and a new clutch cable. I'm awaiting delivery of a Morgan Carbtune that I'll use to sync the throttle bodies. Plus I just bought a new shock and RHS mirror (didn't read that "how to bungee cord your mirror" posting till too late) :-[ and then hopefully I'll be good to go for some longer rides.
Anyway, here's a pic of the bike in its current state, minus the big Givi top case that turns the bike into a two wheeled station wagon. :D

Good job. Looks very nice. Welcome.

Lovely! I think that is my favorite color on these bikes. I too must replace the glass on the right hand mirror, but haven't yet read anything about bungee cords and mirrors. I take it they pop off by themselves while you're underway?! That doesn't sound good. Those I've seen on EBay don't come cheap.

You can find info on the leashes (http://www.motobrick.com/index.php?topic=851.0) in the Lieberry.

Actually, the mirror glass cost is not too bad. I paid about $42 from my dealer. The bungee /leash holds the entire mirror assembly in case it breaks lose from the mounting posts. In my case, the assembly popped off as I was rolling it in my garage and the bike came too close to the wall. It dropped to the floor, the glass popped out and broke. The assembly is just scratched on the bottom. Could have been a lot worse had it come loose at 70 mph!
