Title: Found OEM Engine bar Kit for K75C from Bike Bandit
Post by: Bokobob on March 13, 2015, 01:13:27 PM

Not pushing this vendor but finally found someone who sells the OEM kit for engine bars shipped directly from Chermany....$388 delivered....s'posed to include every last bit of hardware and the bars for both sides of engine...supposed to fit 85 or 86, I forget which, through about 1990....We'll see....Decided to buy them last night after riding a for-sale 1995 K75C with low profile seat and the engine bars on it..I could see that pegs would have been really neat...But the bike for sale did not run as smoothly as mine and had 60K miles vs my  40K....Also gonna buy a cheapo rider's backrest for the corbin seat already equipped with cavity for the 5/8" post and it is said to be adjustable....Inch by inch it is a cinch..I think the bars are 1" in diameter...we'll see...
supposed to be arriving in about ten days.

Did you get a cheap ebay Corbin-compatible backrest? I picked up one and it sucked. Rather than deal with the POS and still have to get the Corbin backrest hardware kit I just looked for an K100LT top case which provides a backrest

Thanks for comment on backrest..I did order the cheap one..I do already have the backrest hardware installed for both rider and passenger....I probably ever ride two up, so your heads up on the K100 top box with built in rest is not applicable, except I would not mind having one just for looks and may seek to find one on EBay..

I felt the cheap ebay one was cheap because the wooden backing and foam part of the backrest wasn't centered with the square support tube. Hopefully yours will be better. I was going to send it back but with the price I paid for shipping on it plus the price of shipping it back I just tossed it.

Member mw074 sent me a private message earlier saying he had some top cases to offer...drop him (mike) a message

Thanks for explanation of the backrest problem and for the info on the guy with the top case.
