You never know.  I've put stuff like that on Ebay and it sold. Just be upfront about the condition.  Probably wouldn't get more that $5 - $10,

sounds like more trouble than it's worth.

Probably.  Been doing lots of ebay lately to supplement my income.  Stuff like that ups your count and may attract someone to your other items.  I had a grimy old tool roll that I started at 1.99 and went for $26.  All depends on who sees it.

if you are experiencing helmet buffeting above 120mph... you can screw that thing to your helmet to smooth it out...

Now I'm sorry I gave it away.t. I bought a 19" guftason and the wind hits me right in the face. I have to crouch or stand up to eliminate the noise, esp at higher speeds. Any one have a stock one for sale? 92K75s. I guess I could cut it down.

you can buy brand new from OEM parts supplier for a little over $100. The castings are a little funky but they look clean. I have the original with some star cracks (keeping it) and the new one.

OK $172 that's a little spendy. I splurged. Some parts are available cheaper aftermarket and same product (steering and wheel bearings for example) if they're not bike specific. I'm constantly amazed that most parts are still available and cheap for this bike. www.beemerboneyard.com is good for service parts and used but pickings are hit and miss. Try also kbikeparts.com. Oh and of course https://www.motobins.co.uk/index.php.

All BMW OEM suppliers are hitting the same fiche and warehouses for the same inventory and prices but these guys seem to do a good job for me.

Guftason huh. Looks interesting, never saw this before: http://bikescreen.com/collections/bmw-k-75. Like the height choices.


Going for full stock (at least to eye, have beaver headlight electrics and a LOUD horn with relay harness) so I went for the $$$ OEM.

that Guftason looks an awful lot like my Aeroflow, http://www.aeroflowscreens.com/K75S/K75S_Products.htm ,which I am very happy with.
