Title: Yo from NE Nebraska, K75 purchase
Post by: sci on September 27, 2017, 11:20:06 AM: After a year of searching, I finally bought a 1993 K75 with 46K miles. Although it is a "plain" model, it seems to have the "C" type fairing/windshield which I thought BMW had discontinued in about 1990 on the K75. Is this correct? This will be my ride to Prudhoe Bay next spring. Besides doing a complete front to back service on it, I would like to add a rack on the back for my stuff and a "throttle screw" or some kind of cruise control. A source these items or any comments would be appreciated?
Thanks for reading,
Dan

My throttle lock is screw/cam style. It works very well and is easy to operate.(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170927/8bbab57ecb5d841675d2f40a1b81a8ed.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170927/f7a5fa58c7565498bc3b8667f8bd1927.jpg)

I wouldn't mind trying your throttle screw if you still want to sell it. My address is Dan Kirby, PO BOX 243, BATTLE CREEK, NE 68715.
Thanks,
