Another Aussie K- Bike owner
« on: September 06, 2011, 07:53:57 AM »
G'Day from Brettmass in Australia, Currently own a '91 K100LT but in RS wrapping's due to a small spill that totalled all the front end. I am the 4th owner after it was imported in as a Police pack ( still has only 63k km's on it) Hopefully I can attach some before and after photo's of it. :)

Welcome.

Interesting pegs/peg plates....
Once I had a Collie pup. Dug a hole and covered him up. Now I sit there by the hour. Waiting for a Collie-flower.

Yea the peg plates apparently where an optional extra for K1's according to the sticker on the back of the plates. They sit back about 5 inches an for me it gives a slight lean forward onto my bars, Comfortable riding possie. Wool seat cover keeps me bum cool in summer an warm in winter.....

They weren't an option on K1s, that's what K1s came with from the factory.  The brake pedal on a regular K bike peg plate won't fit behind the K1 fairing. 

Looks like somebody changed the pegs though as the stock ones were rectangular with rubber:

Yea the rectangle pegs with rubber are the ones on my original peg boards, the metal ones are very comfortable underfoot, the only downside is they sit very close to tragkorbs and don't give pillion much foot purchase ( but I'm not pillion so it not my prob :) ) I do have a query that you maybe able to help me with. I'm looking for the left inner of Type 3 tragkorb like the one on the black K on header page, when i had my off the tragkorb shattered but the outside part bounced off without breaking and looking for the inner is neally impossible in Oz. Would be happy to try and get a matching set again. Regards Brett

Still lookin for series 3 left hand inner tragkorb slighly damaged is ok. or will consider series 2 complete right hand tragkorb ( but would prefer series 3 as they look a whole lot smoother) :) :) :)
