Still learning my way around a K75 and noticed I have to reach over the handlebar to grab the front brake lever. I've looked but have not found any bolts to loosen in order to move the brake lever up--maybe 1/2-3/4". Or, is it non-adjustable? The length of reach outward to the lever is okay, it just feels too low for me.

Thanks Johnny. The first page talks about 4mm bolts which hold the "perch" in place. Once I removed the cover plate for the RH turn signal thumb lever I saw a 4mm bolt. Loosened it and repositioned the entire RH assembly. Retightened, replaced cover and adjusted mirror, so I'm good to go.
BTW, I have the Clymer manual but could not find any info on how to adjust the position of the RH perch. Probably not looking at the right terminology. The Germans are as non discreet as the Japanese when it comes to words. Or, is it the translations into English?

My method is to pick a bolt or screw, loosen it and then see what happens when I apply some light directional force to the object of my labors.
Go here. (http://www.maxbmwmotorcycles.com/fiche/DiagramsMain.aspx?vid=51739&rnd=04302013) Look under Steering/Handle Unit, Right. There's a lever available for smaller hands if reach, but not angle, is your challenge.

Good info to have. No problemo with reach in distance, just angle. Fixed now.
