Looks like a K75T all right.  Should have originally had windscreen, luggage and tailpack but lots can happen in 3 decades.  Looks nice!

Yea skip the rebuild and just buy a used K1200 pump on ebay. Make sure you get the little gear. I tried rebuilding mine twice and it didn't work

Start a personal photo gallery here. You can use its contents anywhere. Instructions are in the Photo Guidance section of Welcome to Motobrick.Com.

The orientation problem comes from certain phone software and can be corrected with a photo app.
