Why you ask? I have always liked the Ongar K75 conversions and when I found a immiculate R100rs fairing for only £35 I thought I`d have a go.

How? First and hardest bit was drilling the headstock for the fairing spider, you should use a 6.8mm drill bit then follow with a 8mm x1.0 tap(bmw use a 1mm thread)I was a bit unwary of this so i drilled with a 8mm bit and I used slightly longer bolts with locking nuts inside the headstock, you could spot weld these-if i was going to do it again i would go the 6.8mm route and tap,the metal around the headstock is quite thick.
I put the tree as far toward the top of the headstock as i could without hitting the bolts that hold the handlebar risers on, i also `nibbled`(with an anglegrinder the area of the fairing bracket/tree that the bolts touched to allow for full lock(almost but not quite).

The lowers were fitted but are not in a very good state at the moment, I bolted them on and more angle grinder where they touched the engine.

When riding you are in a still pocket of air and you hardly get blown around when passing trucks, the lowers kept a surprising amount of air and rain off of you legs.

You may notice that it is not the most immaculate K100, because i fitted the fairing then it was going to be tidied,but a nice lady knocked me off of it so its a wright off, I`m not sure if it will evolve as i`m waiting on word from the solicitor and have lost the verve for the project.

Hi ssray,
Don't forget unless you are claiming on your insurance you don't have to accept write off value from her company. Tell her she owes you the money for fixing the bike, if she chooses to use her insurer to pay then so be it however the person at fault and liable is her personally. You are entitled to having your bike restored to the condition it was in prior to the accident not to losing your bike altogether.
Regards,
K-BIKE
