Accessories for the BMW K1100 LT

The BMW K1100 LT is a touring motorcycle suited to road trips and long days in the saddle. When a bike is used for travelling, the ride itself is only part of the picture: fuel stops, parking and slow manoeuvres matter too. That is worth bearing in mind when deciding what to fit, particularly if your journeys sometimes involve luggage or a passenger. An accessory that makes sense at a standstill can be as relevant to a trip as one you notice out on the road.

What riders usually fit to the BMW K1100 LT

• Protectors: these are worth considering if you want to look after exposed areas of your K1100 LT while using it for touring. A day on the road can involve several stops, unfamiliar parking spaces and careful manoeuvring when you reach your destination. Those are the moments when a minor slip or knock is most likely to leave a mark. Protectors are relevant to that side of travelling, rather than to the miles between stops. Options for this model include accessories from Puig.

Think about the journeys you make on your K1100 LT. You might favour a full day of riding with frequent breaks, or set off for longer trips with luggage. Either way, you will spend some time moving the bike slowly and finding somewhere to leave it. That everyday part of touring is a useful starting point when deciding whether protectors belong on your bike; it is not just about what happens while you are riding.

Here you can explore accessories for the BMW K1100 LT from 1991 to 1999. For protectors, consider the stops and manoeuvres that are part of your usual trips.
