Looking GOOD!
Interesting color combination- are those the colors that the police bikes wear?
Looks like you will have a bike that will be good for distance traveling.
Of course the liquid refreshment does make the rehab work go easier.  _________________ John & Cathy

One of the previous owners had resprayed it blue from it's original white colour
& at some stage replaced the police ducktail with a 2nd hand silver one.
By the looks of it he then decided the top half of the fairing would look good in a matching shade of silver too ....
I was considering changing the colour but the top box sort of ties it all together now.
It seems to have only been registered twice previously,
1 out of state owner, the other being the local constabulary !
Rehab work almost complete, moving onto the self medicating phase next  |

Brown paper bags with cans containing images of polar bears will also
be received in the left pannier for the benefit of securing support for future " road safety " campaigns ..... |

I wasn't worried about the camera, just the 'Hey I don't want to get my hair messed up' screen
Maybe you smoke a pipe while riding? Would go with the polar bear slippers.... _________________ K1100RS '97

very nice!
I noticed your "engine protection bars" (LOL) extend out more than on my 95 LT. Are those stock? Would love to have the room to mount lights where yours are, but no room on mine. My only option is to mount them outside the bars and you know what will happen to them if I drop the bike.....again! _________________ 1995 K1100 LT
