Dash Plate Alignment on 1991 K75s?
KappoBrick:
Hello, recently I decided to bring my 1991 K75S back to stock as I have owned it for over a year now as my first bike and want to enjoy it the way BMW intended. On my list is the handle grips and aligning the dash pod which I cant seem to get right. Also is there a proper angle in which the S bars are to be installed? I feel like my wrists are dying when I ride and I dont think it should be that way. Any help is appreciated!
Chaos:
You mean the instrument pod? They're infamous for bouncing around a lot in their mount, some owners brace the pod with foam but that shouldn't mess with the alignment. As for the handlebars google some K75s images, it's pretty much adjust to your preference kind of thing. Photos would help diagnose your dilemmas.
KappoBrick:
I mean the plastic pad under the gauge cluster that goes over the handlebar blocks.

That S-style pad is mounted on L-shaped channel brackets that can be bent slightly forward or rearward to accommodate change in rotation of the handlebar—which you might need to do to get comfortable. Like Chaos mentioned, posting some photos would help us better understand the situation. Photo posting instructions are in the Photo Guidance section.
I use a Flanders Clubman sidecar handlebar on my moto. It has negative rise and less than 3" of pullback. I steer with the bar lightly gripped; wrist pain hasn't been a problem. What has been on your moto up until now?
KappoBrick:
I mount the standard “S” short bars. I attempt the deflect the bars further down but the plate does not permit the switchgears to get into a comfortable position. I will post pictures tomorrow as its 12am and I have left the garage.
