This thread will be dedicated to turning my 1994 BMW K75S into a cafe bike... more or less at least.

Devil K · « **Reply #1 on:** June 16, 2016, 01:53:45 AM »

When I first got this bike I knew that the transmission was bad. During repairs i soon found out that the drivshaft was bad as well. Since then i have given the whole rear end of the bike a complete overhaul. New used 5 speed transmission, custom driveshaft, the previous owner installed a new used final drive (I wonder if I can find another final drive with taller gears?). Shortly afterwards though I snapped my clutch cable. I have found another one on ebay, just waiting for funds to order it.

That does not look like a K75S. Looks like a base model/75C.

What is the VIN?

I don't have it on me, I'll check when I get home.

It's a hybrid.
Rear brake would be a drum,the final drive ratio will by lower ratio too.Forks are the next distinction.
Dressed as a C.

A stock K75 wouldn't have bar weights either. It's hybridized, like Dude said. A C would have a slightly differing headlight assembly, too. It looks to me like a Standard that got a C-bar. It's the perfect candidate for cosmetic surgery. Pretty good pics, Devil.

Reisesport

Where'd you get that abbreviation?

So it has a c bar, does that mean that it's a mid/high rise handlebars? The first digits of the vin are 1057

On the nonop. But if this is a hybrid then the fucker I bought it from lied to me...I just bought a clutch cable for low rise handle bars too.

Devil K · « **Reply #18 on:** June 21, 2016, 08:50:20 PM »

I thought for sure the rear disc brake was a give away

Devil K · « **Reply #19 on:** June 21, 2016, 09:04:20 PM »

Not to mention it has a 17 in the rear. It's deffinetly not stock but I'm 99 percent sure that it's an S.

It's a beautiful evening. I think I hear barred owls hooting in the distance.

Wrong first digits. The VIN usually refers to the last 7 digits in that long series. The first part is other codes saying where it was made and other info. When I said first four it was the first four of that 7. What are the last 7 digits of your vin?

VIN Last 7 digits should be 0154xxx. Mine was the first 94 S made. Vin 0154291. Yours would be higher than 291.

You can also put your last 7 into realoem.com and it will tell you what it is.

Laitch · « **Reply #22 on:** June 21, 2016, 11:03:53 PM »

Yep, those are barred owls all right.

Devil K · « **Reply #23 on:** June 22, 2016, 12:56:03 AM »

I think that you guys are right. It's a standard

Devil K · « **Reply #24 on:** June 22, 2016, 01:06:17 AM »

0134935 are the last seven digits.
