Welcome to the scrum, Steve!
Include in your signature the year of manufacture and the model of your Brick. There are links to a workshop manual and a rider's handbook on this page.

This is my first foray into K-Bikes.   I have a good amount of Airhead Boxer experience though.

Here is a picture of the K75c on my back patio.  It is my first picture post here and apparently I am 90 degree's off beam  :laughing4-giggles:

Its raining heavily and my little garage is full and needs rearranging before getting it in.

I need to change the fluids and connect the battery.   There is also some minor tidbit needed to connect the clutch cable to the back of the gearbox.   I have yet to find what I am seeking on the Max Fiche yet

Welcome to the darKside of BMW.

Looks very nice and well taken care of. Looks like it's been repainted with matching wheels and an added belly pan which usually only came with the K75S model.

Here's your pic rotated and cropped:

Excellent!   Thank You.  I love the way you tidied up the back patio too!   

The Bike has been well cared for.   I have no idea yet what is and what is not supposed to be there.  The belly pan for instance.   

Hehe, a "painted lady".   I like that.

First thing I would do on that K75 is take it on OR34 out to Waldport.

Welcome!  That's a nice looking Brick!  You'll have a lot of good times with it.

The red wheels really work nicely in the color scheme. Enjoy the ride! Cheers

UPDATE:

Got the engine started a few weeks ago.  DIY injector service and new fuel pump/sender
Sorted out a charging issue
Pulled the gearbox and inspected the Clutch which was not working. 
Reinstalled parts.
Took to get inspected by government and got plate/tags (today)

Can hardly wait to get my K Bike merit badge.   
    w/ Fuel Pump, Injectors, Gearbox & Clutch clusters.....
