Gidday I was wondering if the bolt pattern on an early k1200 5 spoke wheel is the same as a k1100 not worried about the exhaust as this is being modified. Thanks Mick

Hi,
yes all the same and interchangeable - K75, K100, 1100 and early 1200 [ 4 bolt ].
I have 3 spoke K1100RS wheels in my K100 Streetfighter and soon to get R1100S [ same as 1200 ] 5 spoke wobblies. I'll be swapping in a set of k1100RS forks, brakes etc., but as yet I am ubdecided if I want the extra weight of the Paralever.
I'm going down the 5 spoke wobblies route on my K100 race Rep project as well.

Great thats what I was hoping I will have to fit a wider tyre as the bike is destroying the back tyre since my mods(look at cold air intake its definatly pushing out more hp)must get it on a dyno to find out just how much more , you might be able to do something similar for the k100 it would be a bit more difficult as you would have to include the air volume meter but I have seen pictures of a similar setup on an ufinished k100 caferacer project . Anyway thanks for the info on the wheels Cheers AUSBRICK . Mick

IMHO the small increase in weight is far outweighed by the improved handling.
Back to topic, to fit a wider wheel, don't bugger about with the exhaust (muffler) often removing the brake calliper gives enough clearance whilst fitting.

Hi Tim,
having ridden both my K100RS and K1100RS pretty rapidly and after my Track Day pal's comments - I can't honestly see that there is any significant difference between the two. Maybe I'm not pushing hard enough yet. 
I read somewhere on a forum that several people have fitted the 4.5" 3 spoker without major problems on an otherwise stock bike - but mine is FAR from stock  , so no probs!
BTW - I'm off to Keihan's tomorrow to hopefully sign off on the underseat system for the Race Rep - can't wait.
Also, the stock replacement system [ K100 ] has been finalised and I'm getting it back to trial on the K1100RS.
