FOUND! WTB Hand guards K75s
« on: January 12, 2015, 06:04:25 PM »
They are now "unobtainium".

Anyone have a set to sell?
I've got the hardware for the oem (BMW Part # 71602315870 - R100 handguards), but need the guards themselves.

Thanks
Ludwig

And hardware is not required. They attach with the mirrors and zip ties.

I have a set of these on my K75S. The mirror post goes through the right one, and it hooks over the front brake master cylinder.  The left one goes over the base of the clutch lever. You need a zip tie or bolt & screw for that side.

Thx for the responses.

I followed the link to Max's and was told that part wouldn't fit my k bike, but another one should fit. They never got back to me for which one does specifically retrofit that is still readily available.

HOWEVER, just by dumb luck I was able to find a set of the retrofit guards I was looking for in the first place that was sitting on the shelf at RE CYCLE.

Gonna go try em out now! Should be a good day for a test as the temp is 28f.....glad we're on the good side of the solstace.

Yes, the listing states: One has a little damage still mounts though.

There is a pair for sale on the BMW MOA fleamarket for $50. They look to be in good condition based on the one picture that is posted.

Edited: I know the thread was marked as FOUND but sometimes someone else wants the same thing, so I thought I would post this.
