Just picked up a new-to-me 1992 K75 RT. 97k kilometers (60k miles) on odometer. Missing some stuff, right side cover, left side fairing compartment cover.
PO looks like they dropped low speed on right side, so radiator surround and fairing lower are scuffed and need some love or replacement. I'm not big on having a "pristine" looking bike, but I do like things that are reliable.
The bottom tail of the right side of the fairing lower is not bolted on to anything. The left side is bracketed to the engine. I'd like to have a photo of that right side bracket, and where it bolts onto the engine. If someone has an RT, could you please snap and post a picture of how the right-side fairing lower is bracketed and supported.
Theres a crack in the upper fairing right under the windshield. Something I would "repair". Whats the best repair method? Wire mesh and JB weld metal epoxy? Fiberglas cloth and some resin? Martha Stewarts glue gun? Advice appreciated.
I am a somewhat klutzy motorcyclist, in that I ride in adventurous places like dirt/gravel roads, and tilted places. Not being on flat, level, hard pavement all the time, I occasionally "drop" my bike on its side. This RT model looks like broken stuff every time I drop it. My Kawasaki KLR 650 is like that, an expensive aluminum radiator on the right side. For my KLR, I fabricated guard bars to protect engine and plastics when (not if) I drop it. I'd like to buy or fabricate guard bars for my K75 RT. Does anyone have guard bars on an RT that can snap a couple photos of how they are shaped and how they bolt-on.
Can't wait for the glaciers to recede and riding weather to happen in Alberta Canada....
