Mine's a 1995 but RealOEM lists the same part number for the earlier K1100 bikes.
Cheers
I would agree on the police bike comment. My one could have been changed. It spent its first 2-3 years as the personal bike of a BMW dealer owner.
As for wheel sizes, there is very little difference in rolling diameters using the listed tyres. I was looking for dropped height and ended up with choice of 18 RS rear wheel and 160/60 or 17 LT wheel and 140/80 which in fact is 3.5mm larger on the radius. I put a 140/70 instead on the 17 LT rear and happy with that but it takes about 10mm off the radius hence the desire to remove spacers.
