Are the Temp & Fuel Gauges interchangeable across K bikes?
« on: August 24, 2016, 11:30:01 AM »
After finding out that the K75 I bought originally had the full fairing with gauges in it, I'd like to reintroduce the fuel and temp gauges since the wiring is all still there for it.

So I'm wondering if these gauges were the same across all K bikes. I'm not seeing any of them on ebay for the 75, but finding plenty off of 100 and 1100. Looks like the wiring is the same.

Yes, the sending units and the gauges are the same for all the classic K's(75, 100, 1100).

It is helpful if you include the year of your bike(s) in the signature line.  There were some changes over the years, and knowing the vintage helps us figure out what you have.  Some sites ask for you to post the last 7 digits of the VIN as well.
