Hi, you can check out Viking Bags, they also sell handlebars, although they don't seem to have a dedicated option for the K75, most of their products are designed to be universal and I think some of their handlebars could be applicable to K75, Give it a look and see if you come across something that's compatible with your bike.

When shopping for handlebars for a Brick, first beware that 7/8" and 22mm are not the same diameter. 7/8" is the larger diameter.

If you order a 7/8" bar, Brick switch gear will not slide onto it without your reducing the bar's outside diameter first by sanding extensively. If you try to clamp the switch gear on the bar without doing that, you'll probably crack the housings.

Secondly, you can find 22mm bars but you must verify that the bar has sufficient length from the end of where the grip mounts to its first bend to accommodate the switch gear on each side. The measurement must be at least as long as that of the OEM bar.

K100RS and K1100RS bars will also work on the K75S.  Slightly longer if I recall, but pretty close.

2V K100RS bars are the same part # as K75S.

K1100RS bars are tip-to-tip 1.5" wider with an inch less setback.  Are they have bar end mounts welded onto them.
