But if you can't help yourself go ahead and post away but be forewarned that we'll let the posts run their course and then they will disappear after a few days and we'll get back to what this thread is about, K-Bike pictures.
So let's see 'em! Here's mine.
with added highway pegs.
There you have it.

Thanks for the nice comments, it is hard to tell, but the paint is actually a "pearl" white. The original paint was starting to fade out, plus the scratches and rock chips began to take their toll, so a complete custom paint job was called for. As for the powder coating, the service manager at the BMW shop made sure the wheels were done without changing the axle openings. Here is a better pic of the pearl white color, taken when I was riding back from Laughlin, NV.

Nothing wrong with R bikes. K bikes need something to pass other than Harleys. ;D

Question - looking at all these nice RS Bikes, is the rear half of the K11RS Front fender a straight swap for the LT one? Much cleaner, and no need to fiddle with the fender to get at the calipers.

Yes. You might want to go some fork reflectors too.

Sweet. Nice and clean. 8)
The tank cover idea had to grow on me a little. Once I got use to it I felt it did complement the bike.
I always liked this style K Bike. I would rather ride then clean.
Next cleaning might be a detail job from a local detail guy.

my current k: '92 k75rt/c with vintage tracy fairing.Do not have a Brick yet,but will soon be looking for one.The 1st one in these three pics is what Im looking for.Love the simple un-cluttered look.I would probably remove the rear bags and hardware for a cleaner line.Love the way the rear wheels seem to "float" without any attachments.I have my RT to tour with,the Brick would be for local rides with my buds.

The color is one of my favorites for a brick, red and black being the others. I've gotten a lot of thumbs up (not middle fingers) at lights, so I guess it's a favorite with others as well. Definitely visible.

Most of the repairs have been the plastics so far. I did have to replace the Mono shock as it was shot.
The right side has most of the damage to it. The right mirror is beat up and I'm looking for one of those.
The right bag is broken on the bottom and the cover has road rash. I may be able to fix it but not sure.
Mystic Red, The color code under the seat says it is 647.
I did get a sweet deal for this one. They also included a spare motor.
Thanks again for the comments...

Bought it last summer from the 3rd owner at 80,000 miles. Came with a nearly complete paper trail of service work which was great.
I rode it to visit family in RI last October and ended up leaving it there. The 72 hour ride home to Olympia, WA a couple of weeks ago was mostly uneventful except for the 2-hour lightning storm with 50mph gusts and pouring rain just east of Rapid City, South Dakota. I'm surprised I lived through that. Scariest experience of my life. Wish I had a GoPro camera rolling during that.
Attached pic is from a break in Wyoming, the only bit of non-slab on the whole trip.

That IS a Klassic K. The term refers to K75s, K100s, K1100s. (And even K1s.) Before they got rid of the real gas tank and started covering them in Tupperware.

It's a '96, with just over 70,000 on the clock. I've owned it almost 16 years!
Took this pic at J&P's Open House in Anamosa, IA a couple weeks ago.
So far, I've managed to do all of my service work and maintenance myself, with the help of the Online Service manual, Max BMW Parts Fische, and some pointers from other K bike owners on forums.

Maybe you mean "classic" to mean not modified. This is a classic K-bike even if it is modified.
Well done,

K75s, K100s and K1100s are all based on the original K100 design and the term "classic" distinguishes them from later K designs. They've been called "classic K bikes" for quite some time.

The splines checked out good and I lubed them up, changed the drive oil, engine oil and removed the saddle bags and top trunk.
This weeks list includes a new set of tires (I'm leaning to Pirelli Sport Demons), brake pads and I may splurge on a new progressive rear shock unit.
Later I want to redo the front forks with progressive springs and a set of gaiters.

I quit riding well my first son was about one and last year the youngest went off to college and the Yamaha Road Star followed me home one day. It's a lot of fun but I spend 20+ years on Bonnies, Commandos, a Ducati or two and I always wanted a BMW.
The K handles so nice and at 55 the wind almost drowns out the exhaust.
It will be my ride for my commute to and from work; about 25 miles each way on secondary roads.

I'll come up with one. Any idea the size of man that one was built for?
Seriously though why don't you just have that 1 reworked 4 your posterior?

Yup, post 30 of this thread. If only the Pixel hunt stayed around my normal stomping grounds east of 65. Been doing quite a bit of miles out that way lately.

It's a 45k mile bike, in nice shape overall. I'm looking for a new seat asap btw. I'll be cruising the forum for advice and fixing lots of little things.
Now go ahead for comments on the 'custom' paint.. :hehehe

Hi, my first post here so hello all, this is me on my 1985 K100rs race bike currently being campaigned in the B.E.A.R.S race series here in the U.K.
Its the first season racing the K100 after building it this winter and even with a few teething problems we are 3rd in the championship and the bike makes a fine racer! You can see more on our website www.bskspeedworks.co.uk (http://www.bskspeedworks.co.uk) or www.oldracer.co.uk (http://www.oldracer.co.uk)

What make is that exhaust system? It's gorgeous. Does running the wide rear wheel on the monolever cause the front and rear wheels to be offset in relation to each other?
The exhaust is handmade but using the original header pipes. With a 5" 160 rear fitted as tight to the right as possible (about 2mm between the tyre and the swingarm) its inline.

We remove the hall sensor and fit a trigger wheel and sensor for the programable ecu, the wheel is outside the timing cover hence the cover.

Wish I could tell you something about this machine, but I just don't know. I think it was for sale but I'm not even sure about that. I love the aluminum bodywork to match the aluminum tank, the rearsets, the exhaust, the strap-ons, and how far the front end is lowered.

That one is a Cortech Super 14 liter. I bought it last year when the zippers blew out on my OEM bag. I have put a few thousand miles on it. for me it is good for daily use, though I find it a little small if I am in tourist mode. But it fits between the bars and stays in place and that is a beautiful thing. :bmwsmile
I thought it might be a Cortech. I just bought the big brother to yours but have not put it on the bike yet. I am considering some mods so that it can mount to a base from an OEM bag. The problem is I still have to find a used base for a reasonable price.

Need to get some better shots. Here's the day I bought it 3 weeks ago about 10 minutes after I got it off the trailer. I had rode it about 45ft LOL Put 130 miles on it now.

Just joined the forum recently and introduced myself on the front porch. Here's the bike I'm babysitting (and maybe buying). I'm currently trying to resolve some electrical issues with this fine machine.

Love those K1s in the ketchup and mustard paint. Maybe I just have had mental lapse every time I have seen a K1, butI don't ever remember seeing that small black rack on the tailpiece before. Is that normal or is that an option?

I'm not sure. It must be a period accessory. On the other hand, I've often seen them with a cover over the passenger portion that serves as a sort of low backrest. If I buy this bike I'll be looking for one.

I saw this on Craigslist in Atlanta a couple of months ago while searching for a Goldwing or something along those lines. I saw a Youtube video of a brick and knew I had to have it. Guy was asking $3k and we agreed on $2300. His Dad has owned this bad ride for about 15 years and only put a handful of miles on it. All the maintenance records were included; but as it hasn't been driven much...ouch.
I forgot how many miles are in (she's back in the shop again). Maybe 30k? This is the sexiest motorcycle I've ever seen. She's no beauty queen but my God man she can purrrrr...

Finished resurrecting my '83 Honda VF750F, so now I've got my '85rt staring wantonly at me, wondering if we'll ever ride together again (this, after a driveway spill which cosmetically 'compromised' her).
- I've gathered all the necessary body parts from eBay, so it's off to the body & paint shop with the lot. Tangerine orange (lower those eyebrows, please. It'll work nicely)
- Upgraded to LED dash kit (thanks, Drake)
- Have fork gaiters at the ready (thanks, Drake)
- Progressive fork springs to install
- Upgraded (bastardizing) LED rear turn signals to install
- HID kit (w/'matchbox' relay and 14 gauge wiring)
- Engine guards to recondition and install (an eBay steal :clap:)
BMW meet in Salem (hour from here) coming up and I'm determined to show up.

Long time BMW Rider here! Have had many K Bikes in the past (and present), but I just picked up this beauty the first week of June! Flew out to Dallas and rode it home to Boston! 1993 Silk Blue K1! Rumor has it that BMW only brought in 23 in this color and I have always wanted one!
Cheers, Phil

Gotta love a woman who can control a K Bike cross country!!!!
She is a born rider that woman. She had never ridden motorcycles when we met fifteen years ago. When I discovered that she however had a MC drivers license, I gave her three hours with a Road Instructor as a birthday gift. She practiced with the Road Instructor on a Honda CB 250 for three hours, and right after that she started practicing on our ex-Police Harley Davidsson Electra Glide under my supervision. After that summer on the Harley, she rides any bike that comes her way with style.

Lots of ways to say it's terrible. But there are some amazing details, things you never see on a custom K, in addition to the body work: Lots of work on the frame to get the seat so low (where did he put the brain?); custom tank (see the fuel filter? where is the pump?); whole different front end and controls and instruments.... and check out the straight pipes! I think it's cool.

This is my '87 K75. My first bike. I've had it for 14 years.
Just rolled 100K this past summer.
It's been my spare bike for 13 years. :riding:

I previously owned a very nice 93 K1100LT that was supposed to be the "one bike" that would satisfy both me and the wife, but it got off'd and replaced by a R1150GS then a Wing... The wing has assumed and is holding strongly on the "our bike" title... Needless to say, the K bike itch bit me back with the LT and I had to have another. I've been watching for the last two years and lucked into this local sweet 85 K100RS with decent milage and some nice upgrades. S/S brake lines, Lueftmiester Exhaust, and a fork brace are all the changes from stock and it runs like it's on rails. This one may be a keeper!

But the K75 has been with me the longest and it is my cool-weather tourer.

Is your 1100RT kinda cream colored? With those pinstripes it looks so nice.
It started out as a metallic blue K1100LT. The color is now Mini Cooper Antique White which is a light cream color. The pin stripes are black and were hand painted, not stickers. I can't take credit for the paint job, It is nice and know it took a lot of work.

Who is a good K bikes parts supplier?

Please don't cafe that k! The K1 is not everyone's cup of tea, but it's special.... if you whack off the back of the frame and put on strap-ons, it won't be special any more.

I love this bike. I'd really like to change the cluster and handle bars in the future.
Watch for a pair of S / RS bars at Beemer Boneyard or the IBMWR marketplace. An easy mod except you also need to replace the front brake line that connects the master cylinder to the tube that runs through the steering head.
There's a nice summary of K handlebars here, but sadly the photos have disappeared:

Now to bring the maintenance up to date... splines, new tires, etc...
Wife asks: "is that a new one?"

!992 K100RS with 11 Hundert fairing and 1994 K75RT:
Is that a K100 with a Paralever conversion?
Started as stock 16v K100RS with Paralever. I changed the lower fairing bits and belly pan for 11 hundert parts. Pretty easy swap. Except for the belly pan bracket, everything matched up to the existing fairing parts and mounts.
The belly pan mount was knocked up in an evening out of a chunk of stainless steel.

94 K1100LT, acquired from a gent in Orlando, FL.
bike was hit in a parking lot as was the gent (recovering well he says).
Bad news: total loss of front end, "triple-clamp" cracked, frame ruined, sad to look at.
Good news: lots of salvageable goodies plus some nice extras (cruise control, works shock, sealed battery) and, according to previous owner, everything worked! Saddle bags and top-case in good shape also.
Bike has 52K on odometer so lots of life left in the drive-train and accessories.
I'll be parting it out over the winter, keeping some and selling some.

Six months of the year, it's stored in a frigid north-central Vermont garage/workshop with its battery fully-charged from its last ride of the season, a tank full of E10 fuel conditioned with Sta-Bil fuel stabilizer, and its battery ground strap disconnected from the transmission. When I reconnect the ground strap in spring, it starts right up. I installed a new AGM 18ah battery this summer; the last one of this type survived 8 years.

That's a beemer—a good-looking one, too. "Bimmers" are cars, even in the oak and mesquite-clad Verdugo Hills, where, as a boy, I listened to coyotes, helped my family push mud out the front door that had broken through the back patio doors during a mudslide, and watched the hills burst into flame every now and then with sirens relentless wailing in the background—that is, when I could see through the smog on the way to John C. Fremont elementary.

Newer front end with a fork bridge and new springs, RT handlebars, Aprilia Tuono mirrors, SS brake lines, EBC floating rotors front and back with EBC brake pads, RAM rear shock, Pirelli Sport Demon tires and other stuff.
The headlight brackets are ugly so they have been updated with a set that are much nicer!

I have owned my '85 K100RT for twenty-nine years, and still rode it this morning. It is my 'baby", and runs flawlessly, with only the occasional, intermittent speedometer problem I would like to solve, and currently, something is up with the horn- I hear the relay, but nothing from either horn- still probably the relay.
Anyway, this bike has NEVER left me at the side of the road in all that time and 92,000+ miles, and still smooth as silk.
Pictures are me on the bike twenty-nine years ago, the bike back then, and a picture on the anniversary of my ownership last year by the Gulf that BMW put on their Facebook page.
Long live the K100 series!

Needs:
1. Some black powder coat on some small items like foot peg brackets, crashbar mounts, rear fender bracket and muffler heat shield.
2. Rims need paint (stained from dirt and grease)
3. Front brake line (rubber is deteriorating)
4. Fairing and side covers need paint (rubbing abrasion marks from the rider and some stone chips)
5. Crash bar mount on lef tside needs attention (broken)
6. Muffler needed cleaning and was loose at the header joint (cleaned added a shim and changed the bolt)
7. Rear tire good for this year at least (maybe next if I don't use it much)
8. Windshield (more of a wind deflector) was foggy (cleaned and polished)

It's always a good idea to run a bottle of Techron through your system at least once a year. I use half a bottle with a full tank and do it twice in succession. Although Johnny will probably deny, it I think he uses it on himself for a good cleanout. This might explain a few things.I just ordered some. I run Lucas through. I've tried Seafoam too. I'll happily try this as well. I'm an additive addict.

My 1993 K75S on long ride back from bike week. Shorter than standard windscreen by Gustafsson Plastics reduces turbulence a bit (windscreen trim not by Gustafsson). White wheels look cool but show dirt more - I got the 18 inch rear with a virtually new Pirelli 160/60 18 on ebay for just over $200. Final drive change to 2.81 was this bike's best mod.
Can you elaborate on what differences the final drive made to the ride-ability?
Post by: moto949 on July 13, 2016, 06:05:33 PM
The drive is not from an R1200C and I'm afraid I don't know if it would swap into a K75, but I'd guess that it would not. My final drive is from a K100 model and it swaps straight in to a K75, except in the example of the earliest year or two (or is it three?) K100 models. To make sure, count your splines, then match the spline count with the K100 drive you want to buy - they should match (early K100 spline count is different and won't work). Also, make sure the K100 splines are in good shape! Too rounded or double-jagged is a worn spline. A little wear is expected - please research pics of good vs bad. And don't buy on Ebay unless pics are up close, crystal clear and show different angles.
Anyway, the gearing choice, I believe, is either 2.81 or 2.91 depending on if it's from an RS or an RT. It is stamped on the casing, but they read not in decimals, but, for example, 32/10 for your stock K75 which is 3.20 final drive gearing. I wanted the taller (lower numerically) 2.81 gear and I'm glad I got it. As I replied in another post, after installation I wasn't thinking that first gear was too tall, but how it used to feel too short (remember, each gear will be slightly taller). And highway speeds are so much more pleasant now, whereas it used to feel like the poor little engine was straining. The flat torque curve still leaves just enough power to pass (if you don't need to downshift), but please know you should really have your bike in good tune because if it's currently down n power, taller gearing naturally won't help a sluggish motor. The trade off for a slight loss in full bore acceleration pays dividends in daily driving every time you ride.
Around town the gearing is very pleasant, and I don't have to slip the clutch off the line any more than I noticed when it was stock. For me, I'd never change back.

I can get an exact rev amount for you on my next ride. But as I recall the revs at 60mph are down approximately 500 rpm, (*but take into account my bike has a slightly shorter 160/60 18 rear tire that replaced the taller stock 130/90 17. That tire change probably bumped the rpms a tiny bit, and since both changes were done simultaneously, I can't say which did what, exactly).
But overall the bike feels so much better to me, it being just a little more long-legged when out on open roads. Around town in, say, a 45mph zone, I feel myself rolling along in third whereas before I would've kicked it into fourth - there's just much less shifting which lends itself to our mid-displacement, triple, two valvers.
By the way, I used the Digi Hud app on my Droid to get an accurate GPS speed reading to compare with my speedometer; GPS 60mph reads as 64mph on the bike's speedo. 70mph GPS is 75mph on the speedo, but bear in mind my rear tire change, so your mph may vary.
There is of course slightly less acceleration as with any vehicle that uses taller gears, but fair acceleration is still there because of the mid-range biased power band of these K75s. Again, have your K75 tuned well to minimize any losses. I'm about to do the ignition advance to see if it works as well as some have claimed. Who knows, this change alone may equalize any slight loss in acceleration from the gearing change. And for some reason Sunoco premium perks this motor up more than all other fuels, don't ask me why.
But the thing is, I don't delude myself that my K75 is a track day tool (I have a club racer SV650 for that). I'm never gonna win drag races with it, but I will enjoy it for what it was made for and I really think the taller gearing enhances the bike's original intent.
The only way I wouldn't do this change would be if the bike would be so overloaded most of the time (even more than my 225 lbs) such as a barn door fairing K75T with a permanent passenger in constant hilly or high altitude conditions. Then of course one would have to wring it out just to keep up with traffic, and every little bit of acceleration would help in that scenario. However, if I rode two up with luggage but only in flat Kansas, I'd happily get the tall gearing.
Re; vibration, my bike has very little. Virtually none in the pegs or Corbin. Now, before I tuned the injection there was a bit in the grips, but all that remains is a faint minor high frequency buzz in the bars. I have the heated grips which are not only hard to the touch (which transmits this vibration), but the internal bar wiring and end-grip design makes it tricky to weight down with a bar snake or similar. Gloves certainly dampen the buzz, but I'd say we're nitpicking to call a K75 buzzy.

I have zero vibration in my wifes K75S (which is what I am riding at present) - we are both pretty lightweight - I am only 72kg and my wife is 55kg
Next tyre change I will swop out final drives and see what I think of the change. As I have a spare it is only a half hour job, and it would be interesting. Our roads here are quite winding and hilly, but I find the gearing especially in second a bit too low, so this might help raise it to a better level. Like you said, these bikes are not that powerful, but the power in the midband is very usable. Put it this way... if guys are pressing on pretty quickly I can generally keep up with them OK. On my K1200RS they have less even less chance of getting away from me.
The new K75S Café racer project will hopefully give me a better sporting weapon. I plan to lose between 35 and 50kg of flab from it, and with a decent tune it should go quite well.

Final Drive Gear Ratio: On monolever final drives the gear ratio is stamped into the final drive on the top front where it meets the swing arm. On paralever final drives the gear ratio is stamped into the flat surface around the breather cap on the top of the final drive.
Two of the more prevalent gear ratios (there are a few others) in 4V paralever final drives are 31/11 (2.82 - commonly found on K100RS4Vs and K1100RSs) and 32/11 (2.91 - commonly found on K1100LTs). The higher the gear ratio the more torque will be available at the rear wheel. You'll get lower RPMs for a given speed and slightly better mileage with a lower gear ratio.
Since K100s usually have a similar gear ratio and 90 hp the torque at the rear end will be the same if you use a paralever with the same gear ratio.
Most K75s have a 32/10 (3.2) final drive which is significantly "shorter" (has more torque) than the highest gear ratio available in a paralever final drive, 2.91. So if you convert a K75 to a 2.91 paralever final drive then the amount of torque available is reduced by about 10%. Since a K75 only has 75 hp there is a noticeable performance difference between the 3.2 monolever final drive and a 2.91 paralever final drive. On the flip side you'll get correspondingly lower RPMs for a given speed.
Theoretically on a K75 you should see a noticeable improvement in mileage but I really can't say for sure because I use my paralever K75 as a city bike and run it in lower gears at high RPMs to make up for the loss of torque. That and I never bother tracking mileage when city riding anyhow since there are so many variables involved.
More information about gearing available from Anton's page (http://www.largiader.com/articles/gearing/).

Rode the K75S today. On the speedo; 60 mph = 3550 rpm (just barely over 3500). Now as you'll recall, I had my GPS app tell me that my bike's speedo reads 64 mph while the GPS shows 60 mph, so I checked my rpm at the speedo's reading of 64 mph (a true 60 mph) and that rpm was 3800.

I cleaned and tightened the three pins in the speedo and that mostly worked. Still not working 100%. Going to go thru all the connections from the rear wheel forward this weekend.
It's a bit hard downshifting sometimes, from what I hear that's likely dry clutch splines. Gotta make room in the garage to work on it, looks like a time-consuming job. But I'll get those and the rear shaft splines lubed at the same time.
Still, I enjoy wrenching (not as much as riding of course) and maintaining it should be easy.
Nice riding a big bike again. Been riding 50 and 150CC scooters for the last ten years or so.

Post by: Soichiro on October 20, 2016, 03:54:49 PM
The white Honda is my mate's C77, 1961 vintage, and I bumped into him on the HTB run. I've also got a 1975 Honda 400 four which I restored (hence the Soichiro user name) so we're kindred Honda fettlers.
I like the pinstripe too but I fear it will disappear when I respray the bike, I'm sure my limited painting skills don't extend to pinstriping, although I'm willing to try anything.
That's my 400 in the foreground, on a run with the VMCC guys in Bristol.

Post by: Laitch on November 10, 2016, 05:13:48 PM
. . . so I cut down the fairing. Now the wind hits ma at shoulder level and my helmet is in the clean airflow.You're on pillion and ma is at the controls? :hehehe
Anyway, I've wondered how a modification like that on a K75S would work if that's all I could find after I finish abusing my bike. I want a steady push of air at my chest so I can relax my arms in my forward riding position. I like riding a naked K-bike but I'm not interested in paying the cost of creating one. Thanks for posting all the views! Looks good!

I must try taking my K75S blade off again and see what wind pressure is like,maybe,more wrist support?More neck ache,for sure.

Hi folks! Here's a picture of my 1985 K75RT ABS (yeah I know that's not possible but...). I bought it 2 years ago for 2000€, and can say it's the best purchase I've ever made. I added heated grips, hazard lights, and a few oil changes. And the O2 sensor, which was failing. Picked up a used one from a Gipsy in Seville for €20. Oh, and I put in a new shock absorber and new springs in the fork. (https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170206/5963d9cf0d2744f20d398fd17cddb546.jpg)

Have you ever run your bike's identification number through a VIN checker to verify its model and year of manufacture, Jónico?
Yep. Its VIN says it's a K75C manufacturer in late 1985. Go figure.
So now I'm curious about what bits of it are the 1985 bits and what stuff is newer. I read in the tech library here that the alternators were upgraded (from 40 to 60?) at some time, for instance...

Did you come up with the F suffix? There's a K75F (Frankenbrick) (http://www.kbikeparts.com/classickbikes.com/ckb/1.my.k.bikes/10_K75F/k75f.1.main.htm) created by a prolific contributor to K-bike sites. Your bike is unique, especially with the ABS. It seems like yours was somebody's platform for thoughtful modifications. It's a nice catch.
Post by: The Mighty Gryphon on February 10, 2017, 09:14:11 AM
If the bike in the photos is the bike we are talking about, there are two scenarios that come to mind. The most likely is that someone started with a later model RT/LT that was in an accident and had a badly tweaked frame. Then they did a transplant to a C model frame.
The second is that somebody had a hot brick that they wanted to make legal so they could sell it. I had neighbors long ago in El Paso who had a nice little business doing just that with Hardly Fergusons.
It would be interesting to run the engine number. From the photos, I would expect it to be from an '89 or later bike.
Either way, it's a really nice looking bike.

I have a Google+ bud in California who put together a Suzuki Frankenstein bike and called it a Frankenbike, and I saw the term here many times by that poster you mention (in fact I was just reading one of his posts a few seconds ago)--so since it is the only denomination that makes sense with my little flying briquette, I pilfered it shamelessly. :yes

Dude alas one of the few skills I don't possess is fibre glassing. I could carve one out of wood or a block of aluminium. This one used to be local but I haven't seen it for 2-3 years. http://landbridge.net.au/K1004.html

Thanks for the feedback, I made the hugger myself after getting advice from a copper that I should have a guard. The problem I found was how to mount a strong guard. 3 1/4 exhaust pipe sleeves the shock perfectly and a hand glasses guard later here we are!!

I confirm the stock seat is crap on anything over 300km :)
My LT sipped 5l/100km up to 100km/h and 6.3l sitting at 150-160.
Good news the oil pump and rear seal stopped leaking as they heated up proper good. Bad news the clutch slips really noticeably. New disc will be on the way. Both fork legs leak like crazy.
Seems like these bikes do not like being left at standstill...
This is me and my completely stock 93 k1100lt. MY friend's tiger xc in the background. Lovely weekend we had.

You may want to devise a tether system for those battery covers as one of them has already made an escape. Seems to be a not uncommon issue with the S model.

New to me 95 K75. Paint was poor so it was due for a refresh. I took it apart and Brent Budgor from Vintage Vendor resprayed it in 68’ Ford Highland green. Same color as Steve McQueen’s mustang from Bullitt. Pictures don’t do it justice.

New bricker here from the currently snowy coast of Maine. I recently acquired this gem from Tom M (formerly of Country Rode in Rochester). He made a very gentlemanly deal. Truth is, I was on the hunt for a donor K75 and planned on doing this kit myself (Unit Garage Marrakech Scrambler). Tom rendered that option obsolete.
The bike s ready to go now, but I do have some PIAA 530s incoming and will be looking for suitable hand-guards.
I hope my stay here is mutually beneficial. I'll keep my trap shut until I have something worthy to add.

Interesting bike there, gumbo. The aux lights and drum brake make me think it may have started life as a K75T, then someone replaced the windshield with an R90s clone and added the K75s belly fairing. Looks good.Yes Your right and the handlebars or different also..

These bikes have somewhat marginal cooling capacity and need everything working at peak efficiency to avoid overheating in the Texas heat. Slow traffic with a lot of idling on hot days made my K100RS puke coolant until I did a good flush and a radiator fin cleaning.
Dealer techs are no longer familiar with the early K bikes so I wouldn't be really positive that they know how to burp the hoses to get every bit of coolant the system requires.

30 year old brick which I've had for the past 23 years. Do about 3,000 km a year.
I've done very little to it beyond tires, oil changes, fork oil once, batteries about a dozen times or maybe a bit less than that, gear box oil once, final drive oil once.
Valves should be checked.
Brakes should be bled.

My rear was shot, which I have now replaced, and I will be swooping out the front ones, soon.
Post by: Past-my-Prime on July 08, 2019, 07:47:13 AM
Everything is pretty much original, as in 30 years old. I did replace the starter relay when it welded itself due to me trying to start with low battery. Otherwise, not much has been changed. Everything works.
What's unchanged: electrics, wiring, rubber hoses, lines, fuel filter, and so on and now that I've replaced the ABS computer, the ABS works again, or at least I think it does (lights no longer blink at me all the time).
To your question: I like how the bike rides. Seems stiff enough to handle, not like riding a marshmallow. It feels decent in the curves but I don't have much to compare it to, suspension-wise. Previous bike was a Honda 450 that I crashed.
I'm filled with remorse at not attending to regular maintenance and fluid changes and so on as many others on this forum seem to do on a regular basis.
I had a front fork oil leak once, about 10-15 years ago, had the local shop (not BMW) replace the seals and put in some fork oil (I have no idea how much) and the fork stopped leaking. The rear spring / shock I've always left at the middle setting which seems good. I don't really have anything to compare it to, but I'm not bottoming out and the tires seem to maintain contact with the road as I'm riding. Mind you, I'm pretty gentle on the bike and only about 3,000 km or fewer a year (we have a short season here and I'm also into sailing, camping, bicycling, etc etc).
Post by: Soggz on July 08, 2019, 09:32:11 AM
I’m the 13th owner of mine, and the bike was sat since 2006, so it’s been through a few bands, probably not all of them had a spanner in!
I have replaced pretty much everything on mine so far, apart from getting inside the engine. Most of the rubber bits had perished through lack of use, and the rear strut seized up on me on its first run out after the mot. The front forks arnt great, so they will be getting a set of progressive springs nearer the winter months,as funds allow.
All in all, it’s a great bike!

That's arguably one of best motorcycles from BMW. If you must chop one up, to make a "flavor of the month" project bike, consider finding a shitty one to molest. That one is too nice, IMO. They're only original once.
As per Scott good original K75's are getting thin on the ground. Makin org a Coffee racer or scrambling a Brick reduces it's practicality and rideability, ride it for a while before you commit to that path. In 20+ years I've but only ever seen two café Bricks on the road both recently. I've seen quite a few in the build stage that never get finished or if they do they are ridden briefly until the novelty wears off. Most end up stuck in a shed or behind a shed under a tarp. Ride it as stock for a while and you'll fall in love with it.
Regards Martin.
I figured I'd catch flak for wanted to jump on the "molestation band wagon" without really having spent time with this bike. Which is also why I want to give myself a year of riding and getting comfortable before I start doing anything to her. Sadly finding a cheaper decent running K bike that I can convert to something more custom and to my liking is hard to come by these days. I will gladly keep an eye out as working on a bike is part of the whole appeal of owning one imo, till then a butt job is in her future 😈🔪🏍.
Look on the bright side, more OEM parts on the market for you purists. :)

curious, what product did you use. ? looks great.
Nice, another 85' K, the finest year :laughing1:. Hopefully you get it running properly soon. Here's mine! I recently ceramic coated the entire bike. It came out better than I expected!

Bought this with only 12000 miles on it. We all know buying a 30 year old bike with just broke in milage is a rookie move, but I gave it close inspection especially on rubber parts and it ran perfect. now giving me electrical problems. Which are intimidating but I don't mind a challenge now and then just to see if my brain still works

1994 K75S
Nostalgic for me for two reasons:
When I was growing up, my dad had a ‘88 K100LT (old pictures below). I have fond memories of that.
Second nostalgic reason is that I was born in 1994, so this bike is as young as I am!

DUDE! I was older than you when I bought mine new in 86! Thanks for making an old guy feel old :laughing4-giggles:

It's an '85 K100 RS, but look it's got ABS, and the later rear grab handles.Is the fuel tank mounted to the frame at the rear with one bolt? How about running the last seven digits of its VIN through this checker (https://www.realoem.com/bmw/enUS/select?product=M&archive=1) and telling us what it indicates?

Just bought this one recently for cheap, 19k mi. on odometer.
2005 K1200S with cases.
Can't wait for warmer weather, maybe start with ABS delete in the winter.
