K75gsa
Hello Jake, been offshore with no wifi, its a killer tell thee....!! Yes the project is coming on slow but sure, Colin is very thorough in his approach to work, the drive shaft extension issues have been sorted & we have a direction now. It will drift into next year I feel...!!! The Yamaha project you were looking at is a Honda...!!! Sorry, couldn't resist that one...!!! Not sure what to do with that bike yet..!!

Sorry Mez - Oop's must have had a brain meltdown I thought xt600z Tenere's were Yamaha' s !! and the badges on the engine and fairing - Yamaha - disguise the Honda input very very well - But then again its all japanese to me. :confused1: Jake.

Which bike was that..?? Think that was Mezo from OZ, a Brit Mez that chipped in this thread earlier on so your eyes weren't deceiving you..!! I thought you were on about my XL600 bike down Colin's workshop ??

K75s
You might like to look at Paul Rooney's website. rooneycycle.wordpress.com
He has built a few RTW bikes with a K75s engine. He recommends the 75s for it's weight and power. I was going to have him build one for me but health problems intervened. |
Progress

Some progress has been made. The all important rear wheel issue has been resolved with just the CNC stainless rear calipar bracket to pick up from the machine shop. Tank is also 90% finished. Out of tank fuel system buttoned up bar the auxiliary fuel pod. Engine will be tackled when the frame goes to paint. Wheels are out of this world have to say, very pleased with the finished product. Swingarm/driveshaft has successfully been extended by 50mm, please don't ask how much the 4 titanium studs cost me ok...
Now it's the turn for the whole front end to be fabbed. Iv'e gone for some radical thinking here so more pics in several weeks time. MEZ |

Hi everyone, I'm Robert from Poland. I'm building BMW K75GS now and I have a question to MEZ. How did you solve a problem with rear wheel? The oryginal one is centered on the motorbike but 1150gs rear wheel is moved to the left side of bike. Thanks

The K has flaws like any other bike...and some have been covered on here but the following are worth repeating... Final Drive(check the splines), tank(check the bottom front corners for weakness/rust), fuel pump(they go, carry a spare), fuel pump wiring disconnect(crappy connector-replace it before it gets flaky and kills your pump), fairing bracket connector to frame(re-enforce it), rear shock(upgrade your shock and a stiffer spring), lower weight fork oil on the front, and Metzeler ME 88 Marathon on the rear, with ME 880 on the front. The rest you can figure out. edde |
