Perlova Posted August 11, 2007 Share Posted August 11, 2007 How difficult (expensive?) would it be to convert a K75s into an rt (fairing and bars)... Link to comment
duckbubbles Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 Without a donor bike the cost would prohibitive. Otherwise, I think the change can be made. Why not just look for a clean RT? Frank Link to comment
k75duck Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 Aside from the fairing and bars, you would also need to swap the tank. The K75RT is larger, same as K100, and with the S tank you'd have a big gap between the inner knee panels and tank. The radiators are different too so you'd need to swap that to have the fairing fit on it properly. Next you'd need to do all of the cables and the brake line from the maaster cylinder when you swapped bars. So you have to find all of those parts as well as a fairing and spend mondo time doing the conversion. Save yourself much aguish and money. Sell the S and buy an RT - that's BY FAR the easiest and cheapest way to go. It is physically possible though and has been done. Link to comment
Perlova Posted August 12, 2007 Author Share Posted August 12, 2007 Thanks for the information. Everything looks simple at first. I think I'll look for an RT..... Link to comment
LuckyLeif Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 Should be easy to sell the 75S -- there's always a few buyers looking for a nice one and mileage doesn't usually matter. Link to comment
