You must have creeped him out, "Dr. Tom."  He's deleted the post.

he got all pissy and bitchy cause I posted a link to his ad on the board.  I expalined the public domain so a challenged man could understand it.

I suspect that he used to be a hall monitor,

Let get this straight............his Kansas City Craigslist ad for a BMW K100 FOR SALE GOT POSTED on the biggest K-bike forum in the world and he got pissed?? Duh, why?? He should thank you for free marketing. Maybe he didn't. Appreciate all the expert opinions of his faux cafe. If it was a real cafe it is wouldn't have a tractor battery.

It wasn't the cafe; it was a 100LT that tsnap posted in the middle of the thread.

no, this was not the original bike on this forum thread.  It was a  K100LT bike I saw listed in KC, and posted a link.

I think he is "one of those" BMW riders.

What was his response about the busa shock anyway? I'm thinking it's not an adaption other K owners can consider at this point (I googled and found zero info about doing such a thing anyway)

he has added my last comment  to his ad and says I am unkind. He may live with his mommy.  He added to his ad that he will reply to craigslist emails about the shoick, but has never responded to me.

I did some searches, and a lot pops up, it's all spendy.  I am not pinning any hope on this idiots mechanical know how.

Search KC craigslist for 1988 BMW K100LT.

It never did happen. I actually ended up purchasing a somewhat rough K100LT off of a fellow forum member here. In the process of fixing it up but be use of the floods here in Houston that happened a few weeks ago things have been going slow.

It's actually going to be a sort of futuristic street fighter. Here's a sketchup I made of sort of what I want to do. I have everything except the headlight brackets for my LED projectors but i'm currently in the process of making them on CAD so I can print them out. It should be the last thing I need along with a K1100 stand (about to bid on one) so I can fit my K1200 5 spoke rim. I have everything else to start this project so I can finally fabricate the tail piece . When i've done projects I wait until all the parts I need shipped are here because I hate waiting for parts to come in and not being able to ride it.

I'm actually riding it with an led spotlight I had laying around. it's plenty bright but i've only been riding it during the day and pretty much have it for legal reasons so I don't get stopped.

Texas! Not really too strict down here but the exhaust is going to have a small catalyst so it can maintain correct compression of fumes and it will also be able to maintain adequate back pressure with the requirement of quieting it down a bit so I don't have my ears blown out even with earplugs.

Yup, just received it this week. Got a really great deal on the wheel and it's old unsold dealer stock so it is brand new. I mounted it up while doing the splines and It does have enough clearance and fit since I removed the exhaust and center stand.
