Brake Line Question / What bars have I / Did I screw up or did ebay seller

[davedrave]

Just looking for confirmation as to what bars my K75c has, I ordered a set of steel brake lines from ebay and the line that runs from the reservoir to the splitter in the steering stem is too short, I need to know did I screw up or did the seller as I will contact them if the latter is true. Disappointing after replacing fork seals and pads to put it all together and theres still the same ~25 cm of old rubber at the start of it all.





Below is the offending line which I measure to be around 25/26cm to memory


Thanks in advance!

K75/K75C/late K100 was all available both with standard and high bars.

Brake hose lengths:
Standard: ~15 cm.
High: ~25 cm.

Excellent thanks, I'll get in touch with them as they advertised it as the high bar kit

Hi Inge:

Just so's I knows...standard K100 & K75C bars are the same - right?

What are the high bars?

Thanks

When I was researching handlebars, I compiled these statistics:

Height:
Early S ----2 3/4"
Late S -----2 3/4"
C -----------4 3/8"
RT & T -----5 3/4"

Total Pull Back:
Early S -----5 1/8"
Late S ------5 5/8"
C ------------6 1/8"
RT & T ----10 3/8"

Width:
Early S -----23"
Late S ------24"
C ------------25 3/4"
RT & T ------27"

Center:
Early S ------4 3/4"
Late S -------4 3/4"
C -------------5"
RT & T -------5"

Diameter:
S bars are .695-.700" ID
C, RT, & T bars are .615-.622" ID

I can't comment on whether the K100 and K75C bars are the same; haven't enough knowledge.  I suspect the standard K100 used "T" bars.

They got back to me and admitted that bmw bars are a bit of a pain and 1 in 10 people come back with something wrong.... would you not update your listing to reflect this? He wanted me to send over the original for him to copy, Hes supposed to be sending me brake lines  :hehehe I said take what you have and make it 10 cm longer.. i can be sending part of the line away because then I cant drive the bike in the mean timei
