Looks very nice. I like the pinstriping.
Why the early K100 side covers?

Actually looking at other "ex" Police bikes some of these also have the K100 covers - good spot as I never had noticed before hand
Looking at where the normal covers go there are power points installed to the left of the panels so can only assume this space is freed up for that reason
But some may have more detail why k100 panels were used besides K1100 ones........
