FS - Two K75 Driveshafts
« on: October 01, 2016, 08:07:49 AM »
I have three spare driveshafts and am selling two -- I just bought a new OEM one for nearly $400 and bought a parts bike last year that had a Bruno rebuilt one.

These driveshafts will get you down the road but how long is a crapshoot and depends on your riding style. I ride mostly slab for utility so for me I'm sure I'd have gotten a few thousand miles out of each of them. You -- maybe not so much.

Still -- every K-bike rider needs a spare driveshaft and these are cheap.

Just sayin'
1994/1995 K75 ABS Frankenbike: original engine 136k miles, frame from Gary Weaver (RIP), 173k miles -- Current Odometer: 193k miles

i saw your listing.  i have a 1994 bmw k75rt which i have already (possibly stupidly) repaced the drive shaft on with another slightly less used drive shaft.  i could not find a matching set (final drive / shaft) so that seemed like the best cheapest option at the time.  i am possibly interested in the shaft 1 / final drive (the less worn set that you had for sale.)
do you know if the final drive is compatible with an abs bike?  the abs is not working currently and i dont really care.  also i was wondering if you still have the system cases and if you have any photos.  i have a set but they are kinda in rough shape and would be interested in some nicer ones.  i am located in philadelphia pa by the way.  thanks.

you can also contact me at weissman42 (AT) gmail.com  thanks

i think i will buy the system cases, if you could send a few pics that would be nice, weissman42(at)gmail or you could text them to 267 255 2837.  do either of the final drive / drive shafts match?  seems as though in your description both final drives are described as coming from a bike with 70k miles, and both final drives are described as coming from a bike with 83k miles?  i would be interested in a matching set, otherwise i would probably just buy the drive shaft #1 (or whichever one has the least wear).  thanks

Sorry to bring this old thread back to life.

Sent you a PM yesterday, do you still have any shafts or final drives?

Thanks!
