Handle Bars
« on: August 21, 2020, 02:34:30 PM »
I have a 1995 K75 which I find confortable for my ailing back.
I’m looking at buying a1993 K1100RS. Can the handle bars be changed
to bars similar the K75 without to much alterations. Has anybody done this?
Thx

It's difficult to know which handlebar your K75 has without a photo. A member here, ffbikersa, removed the RS bar from his K1100 and installed an RT bar. He then needed to change the mirrors to handlebar-mounted mirrors to get a better view from his modified riding angle.

My 1995 K75 bars I believe are the same as the Lt bars
Changing the mirrors are the least of my problems,.
I’m more concerned with the throttle cable, brake cables, the brake cable, the choke cable and the electrical
connections. I just need more of an upright seating position due to my back issues

Have you tried bar backs they should fit with out any drastic cable hose changes. The bars can be rotated up and back but you'll also have to rotate the clutch and brake perches. I added another set of inverted bar clamps to alleviate my back problems and rotated them.

You're welcome.


Now that you know who has done this you can contact him using the memberlist to look up his profile then send him an email or personal message with your questions. I think it will all work out for you.
