WTB - K75C Fairing assembly for '86
« on: February 27, 2018, 05:11:07 PM »
Hoping that someone has a K75C fairing they'd sell me.


I've just bought an '86 K75 that took a gravel-induced nap...



Am located in Salt Lake City UT, but will pay for shipping if the price is right.

Bummer.


Might try Re-Psycle 614-837-1160
Parts Haus - 562-254-0452
kbikeparts.com (but the Duck doesn't have one listed, could email though)
Place an ad on marketplace.IBMWR.org (always found nice folks with a garage parts bins on here)


otherwise I suspect making your request an ebay wish list item.


Good Luck

Thanks for the suggestions!   


Much appreciated - I'll give them all a try.


On the other hand, I'm considering aftermarket items.   There's a Maier GP Fairing for $128, but it's shorter than the stock one.    I'm also looking at a Slipstreamer ss-28 windshield that might work.   So I might install one of these as a contingency while waiting for a fairing to surface...


Thanks again!

You’re welcome.

The K75c I have now was my Dads bike. It’s setup stock now with a low seat Corbin Gunfighter and I’m working on adding a belly-pan spoiler to it.
Anyway, Dad had a nice BMW shield on it at one time, and when I got it he had a Rifle small fairing that looked OK.
Several options but I like the stock look and the S fairing too.

This is the Rifle,

Rifle has a one, the Sportbike fairing, which looks pretty good.   


But it's $388+ with the clear, taller screen and shipping!   


I'm such a skinflint that I can't justify that when I only paid $1200 for the entire bike (I just bought it - damage was from previous owner dropping it low-speed).   I did get a great deal, though.   2-owner, 34K miles, new tires, new battery, just serviced and in pretty condition (except for the fairing!).


Looks great from the right side... lol

I assume you don't still have the Rifle...


It looks ok, but it's a bit bulky.


I'm going to keep looking for a little while. 


Maier has a GP fairing that looks pretty good, only a little smaller than stock - I might go that route.

Here's the link to the Rifle one - [size=78%]http://rifle.com/Superbike%20Fairing-P1903.aspx[/size]


Slipstreamer has a windshield that would work, covering around the sides of the headlight - but it's wide - 30" or so - not sure I would like the look of it...   [/size][size=78%]https://www.amazon.com/Slipstreamer-SS28-Sport-Fairing-SS-28-M/dp/B000GV8L0O[/size]


I'm going to keep looking for a stock one for a little longer.


Thanks for sharing the pic!   I took my dad on a two-day ride (he was on the back of my 650 V-Strom) around Boone NC about four years ago (he was 83 at the time).   He still talks about it.   It's great to share a love of motorcycling!


Cheers!

That’s a good pick, I like it.

Wonder if one of those would fit on that new Kawa Z900rs??

was that already color matched or did you have to paint it?  Looks good!

Probably.   Check out the Rifle website,  as they have pics of their featuring on multiple bikes.   They have inserts for various sizes of both round and rectangular headlights,  and the included mounts are pretty easy to work with,  and solid too.

I painted it from aerosol cans in my garage, including multiple coats of clearcoat.   The color match turned out great,  I think.

What colour(s) did you use? My bike's the exact same (beautiful) colour and I may need to do touch-ups in the future, especially if I end up refreshing my gas tank.
