Hello From North Carolina
« on: October 06, 2012, 08:52:59 PM »
I tested a 93 K75C today and liked it a lot....The only negative (and I suspect this may be a common observation)
is that with the OEM low seat seemed to make the foot pegs not very low..I felt almost immediately that forward foot pegs would be great,
and just as quickly saw that there seemed to be nowhere to mount them....

I did a search and found nothing...so am asking:  is there any way to buy/fabricate crash bars or in some other way attach foot pegs more forward than the stock pegs?

Thank you for any info you may be able to give..

I would recommend buying one that does not have a low seat or retrofitting all the gear along with a high seat to make it fit. Moving the pegs is unheard of.

Thank you for advice and commentary....Please bear with me in further questioning.......I had no thought of moving the stock footpegs (well maybe just a bit lower) but was mainly hoping to learn if additional footpegs, more forward could be installed, perhaps with the installation of some sort of engine guard, whbich would enable an occasional change of leg position while riding at highway speeds..
Thank you,
Bob

OK, I got it now.... :bmwsmile

Don't know about a 75 but this is what I did to my 1100.

I've seen homemade ones on a K75RT so it IS possible.  Was quite a few years ago.  Don't remember the details.
Once I had a Collie pup. Dug a hole and covered him up. Now I sit there by the hour. Waiting for a Collie-flower.

Thank you for additional info, guys...The highway bars on the 1100 look like what would work if there was a way to attach them to the K75C,
which has no fairing or any kind of frame up front, aside from the engine itself..I'll keep on hoping and looking...
