K75C to naked
« on: July 25, 2014, 12:21:39 PM »
Hi all-
First post!
I have an 89 75C and I really don't dig the fairing/windscreen.  I pulled it off last night which, as you all know, leaves a lot exposed and leaves me without turn signals.  How do people deal with this? I'd like a clean 'naked' look - I've included a pic of what I'd like the front end to look like (save for the windscreen, for now).
Thanks for the input and for tolerating a newbie.

Can't you just remove the plexi screen and leave the headlight assembly?

Sorry - I was unclear.  That's not my bike, just a picture of one I found. 
My bike is a stock 75C currently
Thanks!

check out Tim's thread on nackedifying his K75 RT --  lot of that might apply to your situation.

the bike in the pic looks like a straight unfaired K75 -- full parts fiche here:

as opposed to the K75C, parts fiche here:

I see turn signals for the straight k75 on ebay regularly -- some cheap some not so cheap. The trim panel and headlight look to be te same on the fiche -- if the cockpit pieces are in fact the same the I'd think the straight K75 turn signals would go on there. There are a lot more fairing options if you get rid of that little C fairing.
