Currently rebuilding my K100, no real need, just seems I'm a lot happier when spannering a K-bike, oh well.
Anyway, I've had a set of K1100 throttles for some time now, with the intention of fitting them to the K100. I've got this forum-derived recollection that this modification doubles the horsepower, or something like that. Side by side the 'new' ones are a massive, oh, 1 millimeter or so wider than the the originals but I'm not dispirited, I still think it'll fly. Question is, does it make a difference and, more prosaically, what the hell do you do with the rearmost throttle that has an incompatible (Motronic) TPS? Is there a 'standard' way to get around this or shall I just let my troublesome imagination take charge?
BTW I fitted the lighter K1100 crank a while ago and that definitely improved things, there is some hope there. All replies, including 'just buy an 1100' and 'replace the large complex part attached to the number plate with the equivalent item from a Ducati', will be gratefully appreciated. Cheers.
