I had a K75 Touring - sweet bike - so smooth it was boring - I got a hair one day & put mine on Craigslist - A guy flew down from Alaska, bought it - I guess he road it home - he said he bought one new - sold it after a couple of years & was sorry he sold ever since it- tom

If you are giving a thorough going over first you might want to check this guy out.  http://www.kbikeparts.com/

The K75s suffered fro the same inadequate instrument lighting as my R65. This guy sells an LED replacement kit for all the instruments. I bought one and I can tell you the difference is amazing. I can't imagine riding with the originals anymore.

Thanks for the tip, there are some instrument issues to sort out.
Have you any pictures of the Kit?
Lou(ps PM sent thanks very much for the offer)

I don't have any pictures of the kit as it has been several years since I installed it. I do know that it was very complete, each individual LED was well marked as far as placement in instrument cluster and identified + - orientation. The supplied instruction sheet was clear and easy to read and fully illustrated. It really was an easy upgrade. The pic on his site is a true representation of how nicely it changes the illumination.

If you have any odometer issues this might help  http://www.odometergears.com/

Keep your bike in good repair: motorcycle boots are not comfortable for walking.

Just below Armitages Garden Centre, the road is called Near Bank, look for the company "Fly Only" and we are behind them. Unit 11.

Call if in area to make sure I'm around, ignore the Gas Gas in the unit, it's not mine...

You are always welcome ;D 8-)

Cheers
