This is a really great thread, especially as I'm working through rebuilding my K. Too bad none of the images show up.   :dunno2:
The photos were helpful. Some members here whose thread photos were blocked by Photobucket have replaced them. Maybe trek97 will go that route someday.

I had thousands (well at least hundreds) of photos on Photobucket, then they blocked easy access about two years ago.
Checked yesterday and it appears as if they restored most of my library. For free!
I didn't want to linger too long for fear of losing them all again...


Anyone else notice the change?

Trek97, congratulations on refurbishing your K75C! Beautiful work you did! I really enjoy these types of reports, because they are such a wealth of information. Thank you for all the time and effort to show us how it is done!
Cheers!

Hey guys so sorry about losing touch.
Thanks so much for all the kind replies.  Been busy here w other projects.

The bike has performed flawlessly since finishing her. 
Them boys down at the bmw plant really know how to build a bike   

Spring cleaning my garage I stumbled across a new windshield I bought a few years back and just forgot about it
Always more fun to spin wrenches than clean.

Here is what I did this afternoon.
