Needed;
1) Gas tank clips and rubber grommets.
2) Speedometer re set knob ( just the black protuding knob )
3) LCD clock
4) Clutch alignment tool. There are "other"  ways to align...I want the tool. Fleabay comes from Europe...takes a month
5) Rear brake cylinder...not the master. The slave behind peg plate..I think this was replaced with a cheap Chinese product. Its leaking.
Wanted:
Stainless brake lines ( this is a stretch )
Stainless bolts for visible items, footpeg plate, oil fill, ....anything that you see.
TIA

I have two k75 bikes-  one has the low seat option..My project bike will be getting new shoes. I run a 140/80/17 on my C with Y spokes...same profile height as original... I am thinking about 140/70/17 ( .75 lower profile) or 130/80/17 .5 lower....At 5'8" I can use all the help I can get...I do not "tour" with these or track them.....and at 150 lbs,  weight, potholes ( None in Florida ) and no mountains...I think I should be fine.

I read the link from Laitch and got to her this morning. The fork was loose and needed some persuading.It could use a bushing but it will have to wait. I removed the lean too much appendage. Rattle can paint….. she’s good to go.

I suggest you decouple that sensor sensor wire. Rehabilitating the caliper on a clean, level, stable surface will improve chances of a successful outcome if you intend to split the caliper. If it were my job, I'd try to find the wire connector, but I'm a by-the-book drudge and rarely in a hurry when working with machinery.

Yes, the sensor is still attached, but the caliper assembly with attached ABS sensor wire are supported with a bungee cord, while the brake line and the feed pipe between the right and left are detached from the caliper.  I didn't want to force things.  Will see if I can split the caliper and use the kit while it is on the bike.

Have you removed the right-side caliper with the sensor attached?

Hi, I recently got my hands on a 1995 BMW K75RT and need to rebuild the front calipers.  I have been looking at various sources on the internet and a CLYMER Manual.  Removal of the left caliper is straightforward and this is off an ready to be rebuilt.  I am struggling a bit with the right caliper as it appears that one needs to remove the ABS Sensor.  I can get a Torx bit on the more exposed hex bolt, but the other is more hidden. 

Would anyone have so guidance in terms of removing the ABS Sensor so I can rebuild the caliper. 

Also is it possible to spilt the caliper and do the rebuild that way without removing the ABS Sensor.

Thanks so much for any suggestions!

After deploying it, I always give the side stand a kick forward before leaning the bike on it.

The hose should not collapse. As the bike cools it should suck coolant from the reservoir via the radiator cap.

If you buy a new rad cap from BMW you do not need to buy the rad cap gaskets shown in the parts diagram. New ones come with the cap.
