    Pricey, but even someone poor like me would say it is worth it - that bike looks badass.

    Inspired by this thread and having done several wash and brush-up jobs like the one above, I've just acquired a K1100LT to fiddle with. I think that it may become a K1100R.

    Looks like Kenda K761s on this K100,.....the same tires I have been considering for my K75 build. Anyone know who the owner is? I'd like to visit with him about how the bike works with these tires.

    Check Dime City Cycles. Several headlight and bracket choices. The cheap $12-$15 multi hole brackets are available up to 36 or 38mm. K75 forks are a hair over 41mm,....so you'll need to spread the bracket a bit and use a longer bolt. This is briefly discussed here in the "my K100 cafe project" thread.
