Hey everyone, recently acquired a '94 K75. As long as I am here posting I am going to ask a question. I made the same mistake I did with my airhead and removed the front wheel without checking direction. Are these front wheels (snowflake) reversable as long as the spacers remain on the correct side? Tire shows no indication of direction either.

Congrats on your K. I once mounted a directional tire the wrong way on my K75, flipping it around is perfectly fine though if the discs and pads are worn much they may have to bed in again.

If there are no arrows on the sidewall it may be possible to tell the tire direction by comparing the front and rear tire treads.
From the factory, the rotor bolts have heads on the left and nuts on the right.
When I bought my K1100RS the prior owner had it serviced by MORONS at Ventura BMW who mounted the front tire with the arrows pointing the wrong way. It trashed the tread on the front tire so the first thing I did was replace it with a new tire rotating in the correct direction.

I failed to mentioned I am getting new tires. I just wanted to be able to tell my installer the direction in case it mattered. i'll go off the bolts as Franken duck mentioned.
