Due to the large box, the shipping cost will be a little high.

This rack was installed on my 1988 K75S when I bought it. It is a little rusty, but not too bad. I have no idea what the manufacturer is.That is a classic Reynolds Rack. Here's a photo from Reynold's 1985 catalog as supplied by Snowbum (https://bmwmotorcycletech.info/reynolds.htm)—a renown BMW moto specialist. Get to know his site if you haven't already.

ETA -- like Natalena says below, the installation is fussy, and taking it on and off is not the work of a moment. But be patient and look carefully and you'll figure it out.

Whoever buys this; the installation is not straight forward, and the rear bolts may not line up for the Z-rack. instead of drilling the Reynolds Rack, I just zip tied (used 2) the reduced-load bearing rear attachment of the Z-rack onto the Reynolds Rack...the front two attachment points actually support the Z fine.*
*your results may vary, do not install with zip ties if you have a history of medullary cancer, type 2 diabetes, incontinence, excessive scalp flake or psoriasis, non-symmetrical appendages, are allergic to Scotch Balls, Uni, or boiled okra, are currently on Centrum, Pop Tarts, or free-range meats, and are known to bathe in outdoor environments. As with all K-bike additions or changes, consult with MotoBrick before starting or stopping. Serious injury, allergic reactions, and death may ensue; off-set by mechanical success, electrical conductivity, and pure riding Nirvana.

Seriously . . . I'm not aiming to cheapskate-shame any particular Motobricker or anything . . . but this rack is a massive find. I'm mystified that Paratrooper doesn't want to hang on to it. But you can lurk around for years and never see another one. I'm so glad I hung on to mine.
I have no use for it and didn't like how it looks on the bike. The side cases provide me with all the storage I need. That's why I am not keeping it. Seems to me someone else might want to use it, so I put it on here. No sense in it just sitting in my garage collecting dust.

No, I was referring to another guy here that wanted the rack, but the shipping cost was too much for him. Just so happens he is from FLA also. I will text you the info in just a bit.
