Will it fit ....? any one tried it and how much "bracket bending" is needed?
K100 systems are 10 a penny on Evil bay and K1100 are like hens teeth....!

My original one succumbed to the phantom pre collector vibration fractures - and a remus seemed like a good idea - BUT MAN IS IT LOUD....

Find someone with a mig welder that knows how to use it.

I had a friend weld mine, he even added a gusset to strengthen the area a bit.
Works like a champ!

As Whyoldbill says, find a good welder. My son found a good un in Nottingham for mine, did it as a favour too.
A local, former K11 owner gave me, about 2 years ago, a plank with 4 spaced holes bored, " what's this?" i asked, "you'll know when you need it, in the next 2 years" was his reply. Sadly I did need it.
However, if required, i can nip out & measure it, so you can make one, screw your pipes to it, to hold them aligned whilst being glued together again.
