So, what is the difference between S, RS, RT, GS, etc? I know the differences in the /'s.. but what do these other designations mean?

Is a total rebuild reasonable if I do the work myself? So far I see no broken big items, I just don't know why the Jugs were pulled. What are your thoughts? Been with MOA since 2003 and really don't know where else to go except AdvRider. Maybe just part it out? Please advise. Thank you.
Nah, not a "ton."
77-78 may have been a high point, but rear drive of 100S is same as RS as are the carbs. From factory, that is. Yes, there are the 40mm exhaust versions and the "squish band" versions, but these are few and far between despite all the talk about them. Yes R100/7 for 2 years had small valves, small carbs and lower compression and lower final drive, but these distinctions were gone in '79.
Nah, it's easy:
S = Sport
RS = Sport-Touring, the bike that created the category.
ST = Sport Touring, in a limited quantity
GS = Dual Sport
Well, as far as the rear drive is concerned, all RSes had rear discs, some Ses such as mine, had a rear drum
Bought a R100/7 out of a garage. Think I have all the parts. Cylinder heads were removed along with mufflers. 43,000 on the odometer. True/false? Looks like a lot of leaking was going on but no wreck indication except small scratch on crash bar. Seat does not show a lot of wear. Luftmeister fairing some scratches but no evidence of cracks or breakage. I think the heads were pulled to maybe replace gaskets. Valves need cleaning, piston head needs cleaning. Cylinder heads smooth inside and rings feel sharp to the touch. My first BMW was a Daytona Orange 1976 R90S. Sold it when I got married. Don't have the bike or the wife Rats. Ennywho, The bug bit me so I am thinking rebuild. Is a total rebuild reasonable if I do the work myself? So far I see no broken big items, I just don't know why the Jugs were pulled.

So it seems that the bike is worth a rescue. I have the mechanical skills and with exception of the special stuff/tools most of the metric. Did a lot of work on my R1150GS without damage. Any direction toward a parts supplier. Seems to be quite a difference in prices. The gentleman that mentioned electronics are out of sight had it right. $390 for a wiring harness!!?? Paid less to wire my shop with MUCH bigger wires and breakers. Thanks to the gent who suggested I start a new thread. I appreciate all comments.
