Hi guys,

Just picked up my first BMW, a 1988 K75C, with 55xxx miles (fun discovery-the odometer turns over verrryyyy slowwwwlllyyy). Will follow the gauge rebuild guides and check out the gears/connections. It has been down on the right side, needs a new seat, new headlight or glass, new RH front turn signal assembly, and a thorough cleaning. Any suggestions on that front? Wire brush and simple green?
Found the original toolkit under the seat, and what looks like a homemade tool kit in the rear cowl. Does anyone know what that mystery BMW light is??Look forward to changing the fluids, plugs, and checking the spline conditions!

From Aurora myself, years ago.
Good luck with your build. I've got some S parts I'm not going to use, Fairings and the like.  If you need something let me know, shipping is not that great from Phx to Den.

Martin:
Does your bike have hazard lights? Does the mystery light flash? If you don't have hazards and it flashes it is a roadside hazard light. I believe some BMW cars had them, or could be a after purchase accessory.
Regards Martin.

The mystery thickens....into a delicious stew. I can't get it to light up, mainly because I have no idea what kind of power port that is. We tried it in a cigarette lighter, but it was too small. I hit it with 12v, but nothing. I did figure out that the lighting mechanism turns and exposes what looks like a flashlight. Also, the yellow part has a little knob that allows you to turn the lens. Interesting....also, I'm not sure if my bike has hazards or not. I'm guessing not.

If your moto has an accessory socket that will accept that plug, it will likely be under a small, round hinge lid mounted on the plastic coil cover where indicated by the arrow on the attached image.
