New K1100LT Owner in Katy Texas
« on: April 03, 2012, 05:18:35 PM »
Hello all, just got my new to me K1100LT from El Paso, the po met us there from Mesa Arizona. I dropped the bike on stopping from a test ride around the hotel. I stopped perpendicular to a15 deg slope and the bike fell over. Glad I got that over with first thing:). I'll definitely pay serious attention to ground levels when stopping in the future. I gave $2600.00 for it a 94 with 52,000 miles, new clutch, headbearings, fuel lines & about 2000 miles left on Metzlers. The color is pine green metallic? Is that right? I read it was a palmetto green metallic somewhere. It has all bags tank and internal liners, radio every thing works. Throttlemeister heated grips. I love it. My family and some of my friends will believe me crazy for buying this bike,  but I needed something to get me off of the couch before I died there. I have spinalcord damage in my neck and lowerback which causes a lot of pain. I've begun wearing 5 pound weights around my ankles to build up my legs to better handle the bike. My roommate has just bought a 92 R100RT, I believe it is the same color, its in the shop getting new fork seals. So as it gets back we are going on our first road trip to Shreveport, and maybe to Mountainhome Arkansas.

That's a good price. :eek2:

The color is either Pine Green(683) or Morea Green(707).  There's a 3 digit paint code under the seat on the tail cowl that will tell you which color it is.

You wont be disapointed I love the ride the only thing that is a worry is doing 80mph on the freeway and not nowing it :hehehe.  If the ride gets to hot try the jonny blanket it seems to help.
