hello from the good old USA (Maine)
« on: November 10, 2015, 03:13:30 AM »
I'm new to this site and BMW's but I'm a fast learner. I own a 1987 K100rs turbo. It has a luftmeister ceramic  exhaust and turbo. I am hoping it is worth the money. How many of these are out there. According to the webb only 200 came out in 87 with the Luftmeister system. Is this right? I am turning it into a street fighter with no fairing any help would be appreciated. :mm

Very nice and very few still around. It's a shame those turbo kits are no longer available as the stock motor can easily take the extra HP. Welcome! keep us in the loop as you build the bike.
