Hi. My name is Jay Miller and I just purchased my good friends K100. He wanted to keep it in the family, so to speak. I've been riding for 49 years. I've had my share of close calls, but have learned how to keep them to a bare minimum throughout the years. I've owned several bikes including a Honda 305 Scrambler, BSA Thunderbolt, BSA Lightning, BSA Rocket III Honda Elsinore, Norton Commando 750, and a BMW R80. My go to bike now is a 2010 Triumph Bonneville T100. Im retiring in 37 days, so my plans are to convert the '85 K bike to an LT. Nice to be here.

Welcome aboard J......you will like the LT.

If you get a chance pop up some pics, there were changes made to the K100 in 85 that mean some parts are not interchangeable. Have a look under your seat and see if the gas tank is bolted down at the rear of the tank.

Also most RT/LT parts are interchangeable, fairings are the same for both.

If you have the flat or RS bars, you will be looking for RT/LT cables and the brake pipe from the front master cylinder to the splitter.

Thanks for the info. Soon as I can I will post some pics. My K is a bare bones bike now. Just a windscreen. I know the LT was introduced in 1987. Do you know if all years of LT would work on "85 K100

I guess I should move this discussion over to the frames and fairing section.
