WTB: K75S Comfort Parts (Screen, Rear Shock)

[maelwys]

I've been doing a lot of riding this year since I tore down the transmission and lubed all the splines. Mine ain't the prettiest K75S around, but it runs like a top.

Recently, a friend bought a blue K75S after seeing mine, and it came with a few comfort modifications that I'd like to duplicate if possible. If anyone has an Aeroflow windscreen and decent aftermarket rear shock laying around and wouldn't mind selling them, please let me know.

Recently replaced OEM rear shock on my 87 K75S with Progressive Suspension 412-4015B Black 14" Standard Replacement Rear Suspension Gas Shock. LeatherUp.com $239.

I am still looking for a quality replacement for the OEM windscreen. I don't like the look of the alternatives.

How do you like the shock thus far? I bottomed out a few times hitting bumps yesterday on a 200mi ride so I've been thinking about one of those Progressives for myself. Probably should adjust the rear stock shock before I set out on my next ride.

As for the screen, a friend of mine lent me his Aeroflow and I have to say, I love it. At 6', it moves the wind up just enough that I can duck behind it on the highway and cut off wind noise almost entirely. On short rides, it keeps the air high enough that I can ride with the visor up which I like. I don't mind the look either. Definitely want to pick one up for myself one of these days.

The new shock is good. I am a lightweight solo rider with no issues on bottoming out or really excessive shock travel on the old shock, it just got cushy.
I will look at the Aeroflow screen again, as my biggest issue with the stock screen aside from long term failure at the lower most attach points is wind noise at speed.

Thanks!
