My K100RS
« on: July 11, 2023, 03:25:55 PM »
She's all done and back together again! From sitting in a garage for 25 years, to eating highway miles like it's nothing.

It took some love and parts, but she's like a new bike now.

Only 27,XXX miles, new Michelin tires, stainless steel brake lines, rebuilt rear caliper, new front master cylinder, new rear master cylinder, new fuel lines, fuel pump, injectors, new spark plugs, new rubber bits, new grips, new odometer gears (trip and odometer work now), new grips, new longer windscreen for less buffeting on the highway, all fluids replaced including oil filter, LED headlight, LED brake light mod, LED odometer lights, 3 OEM keys, and the splines have been lubed. All that, and a new coat of paint. The only thing that's wrong is the fuel warning light, probably a bad sending unit because it's the early thermister design.

It's a fantastic machine, I'm glad to have brought it back to life again.

I am considering selling it and upgrading though, as her younger sister has caught my eye (K1200R). Maybe I'll post it for sale on here sometime.

Love the color. Great Job. How do you like that windshield extension? I've got the laminar lip which is okay, but I don't like how it attaches with velcro.

I'm liking it a lot, it really sends the wind upwards compared to the stock windshield I had before. Here's the link.

Fitment is pretty good, but it was tight getting the holes to line up with the fairing, beware.
