Title: WTB - Fairing for k75 - RT or similar
Post by: Tom05301 on October 22, 2012, 11:05:09 AM

Hi Folks,

I was looking for a K75RT, but gave up and bought a very nice K75. It has a windshield, but I'm finding I'd still like a fairing. Best option would be a take-off in good to great shape, followed by an S-type fairing. I'm looking for frame, not handlebar, mounting.

Thanks,

Tom

FYI: If you're going top install a K75RT fairing then you'll also need to replace the tank, radiator and side covers.  The K75RT uses those of a K100 and is different from the other K75 models.

Duck,

Does this mean this fairing won't work?

Advice most welcome.

Thanks in advance.

Upper fairing is the same. Lower fairing is different because the K75 has a shorter 3 cyl engine block.

Thanks. I guess it's not worth trying to retrofit then. I'll keep hunting.

Glad there are folks out there who have been there, done that. I've learned enough the hard way, and still am likely to again. But, if I can avoid a few of those damn growth opportunities, I'll be easier to get along with.
