I am converting my 1992 K75 RT into a plain (naked) K75. Please get in touch if you know of a radiator shroud from a K100 for sale. The front is no longer available (part no. 46631450633). The two side panels are (Part Nos. 46631453155 and 46631453156). If I can get the front piece I can at least order the two side panels. Does anyone know if the front part will fit the two side panels or can be modified to attach them?

I have one.

Don, is this the same shroud that Tim Tyler used on his bike. The link is http://www.motobrick.com/index.php/topic,3186.25.html
Look at this and if it is I will call you. Yours looks a lot like the one I just took off my K75 RT.

Reply number #34 looks the same.

Reply #11 it looks different.

I just found one on eBay that looks like Tim's. What do you think? http://www.ebay.com/itm/1985-K100-BMW-Body-Work-/172198529447?hash=item2817d509a7:g:bHgAAOSwLs5XL1mR&vxp=mtr

K100 rad shroud won't fit a K75. They have different dimensions and different mounting AFAIK.

rbm, a K75 RT has a larger radiator than a K75. A radiator Shroud from a K 75 will not work because it uses a small radiator. Since I am converting a K75 RT (which has a larger radiator) the K100 shroud will work. The Shroud that Tim used came from a K100 bike. I am quoting what Tim said when he posted this photo. "I found and installed a K100 radiator shroud which fits the K75 RT model since they share the same fuel tank and larger radiator". That is good enough for me.

Uh, iffin its gone be naked, why ya'll need a radiator shroud? Naked is NAKED!

Hmm, didn't know about that difference in the rads. Thanks. Are you aware of the guy in Spain selling reproduction K100 shrouds and bellypans (http://www.k100-forum.com/t10869-replica-rad-cowl-and-belly-pan)?
-
The shroud protects the radiator IMO.

True Ace, it's like the difference between seeing a beautiful shaped woman naked and a not so beautiful shaped woman naked. They both look good but you like the look of the beautiful shaped naked woman better.

Always closes my eyes in the dark so they look the same. A NEKED bike don't have no shrouds or side panels to speak of. You ain't so much going for a naked bike as for a Sleek bike. A NEKED bike looks like this.......
-
A NEKED bike looks like this.......
Take the wussy padding of the seat and the ergo rubba grip off the handlebars and maybe you can call that NEKED. :hehehe
-
If I wanted a trail bike I would buy one. A trail bike is what you have. :nono
-
A NEKED bike looks like this.......
That's not just a naked bike, Ace; it's an anorexic bike.
-
Now my son would love your bike but only after you changed the seat color and handle bars. Black would be a better color choice for him. But it is your bike so you do what you want and we will do the same.
-
Wussy,ergo,anorexic?? That's a mean K bike, boys, not a sissy Parisian model! Ya'll got so much heavy plastic on your K's, you don't even know what's underneath! The only way it could be more NEKED would be for me to ride it without pants.
-
... gaiters?
-
ha ha ha... the canadican has a sharp eye... gaiters on a naked moto... ha ha ha... thats is so wrong...
thats worth red eyes...

Gaithers, sissy tan seat, and dark brown handle bars. And you want to criticize us. Next thing will be you painting the shifter and brake pedal Hot Pink.
-
C'mon Gag, no criticism.......just funnin' ya about sayin's your 75 is gonna be "naked" but needs a shroud & side panels!
-
I know. I am giving it back to you. You will have to admit that Hot Pink would fit in well.
-
Actually, I was kinda excited about that part. Just wanted you to know that on this blog you can expect to be ridiculed but not criticised!
-
Where in FL do you live? I notice that you have a '15 R Nine T. Those are sweet bikes.
-
In the Panhandle, little Ville called Indian Pass, about 15 miles West of Apalachicola. But I keep a trailer in West Asheville, near my granddaughters & Eurosports BMW. Might have to pay a visit to Gibsonville to check out your build!
-
I would like that. I went to college at Western Carolina University in Cullowhee, south of Asheville. Have you ever been to the BMW retreat in Waynesville? My cousin rode a 1992 K75 RT from Mojave, CA to this retreat a couple of years back. Have you ever ridden the Dragon? The guy I bought my K bike from at Hermy's BMW/Triumph in Port Clinton, PA said that he may move to Asheville just to be near The Dragon.
-
Ah,yes, my stomping grounds. Been to the Dragon, Waynesville, WCU , ALL the back roads West, South, North of AVL. Got some routes that rival the Dragon without the crowds and Tenessee State Troopers. Maybe in 2017 we can host a meet for K Bikes, I nominate you to be on the committee.
