Fairing bracket is broken on a 97 K1100. Anyone have one of these? It is going to cost a fortune to rebuild it. Broken at every pt of attachement.
Thanks
Ken

Is the fortune it's going to cost to rebuild it more than the fortune a new one will cost? If so, buy a new one. If you're getting it rebuilt, it can't just be welded up, it's going to need bracing, too.
Keep an eye out at the parts yards. I think Motobins sells used parts. Check the parts yards here in the States, too.

You could also contact Sherwoods BMW and Motorworks in the UK.
Both have websites.

Found this email from when I was looking for one:
Hi,
I have one $100, shipping to NH, $11 via UPS.
Thank you for checking.

That was in 2008. Ended up having mine welded.

Hi, Malcolm,
The last time I looked, Motorworks would not ship to the USA. MotoBins will, however.

$250 for the bracket new. I guess I should have quit riding it when it was cracked rather than waiting for time to fix it..
oh well...it is as it is.
I will wait until Monday or Tuesday to see if any of the junkyards respond. Thanks all.

I had mine welded 2x. Weak point of the bike, imo.

I know I have said this every time the bracket comes up but I have a theory that the cap screws that secure it to the frame may get loose causing vibration and bracket failure. They are easy to inspect without removing anything.

Either that or your treating a K1100LT like a dual sport.
