Came to us with a leaky fuel tank. We discovered a very corroded aluminum tank interior. We tried to clean it out and have the holes welded, bur after 3 tries, we gave it up as a bad choice.</p> <p style="margin-bottom: 1em;">Before we started spending too much on rehabilitating this K75S, we wanted to know the condition of the bike overall. So, we borrowed a proper tank from a friend, and put a couple of hundred miles on the bike. We were quite pleased with the results! The bike starts easily and runs GREAT! A real joy to ride around town and on the highway.</p> <p style="margin-bottom: 1em;">We searched the internet for a good replacement fuel tank, and after a little over a year we finally found a nice white one on ebay. We stripped the paint of to bare metal, and painted it with aluminum friendly primer, then did a beautiful Marrakesh red Glasruit paint job on the tank to match the rest of the bike.</p> <p style="margin-bottom: 1em;">The red on the rest of the bike rubbed out very well, so it was all a very good match.</p> <p style="margin-bottom: 1em;">We installed a new fuel pump and filter and hoses inside the tank, and found a good used fuel level float to replace the corroded one.</p> <p style="margin-bottom: 1em;">We performed a Factory Recommended BMW 10K Service on the BMW, an all day job, and pulled the drive shaft to clean and lube the splines on both ends,</p> <p style="margin-bottom: 1em;">The rubber boot on the air filter housing to the intake, and the boots between the air collector and the throttle bodies were replaced, as was the exterior fuel lines.</p> <p style="margin-bottom: 1em;">We mounted and balanced a pair of new Dunlop tires. We cut a spare key. We installed a new battery. Finally, we put another long test ride on the finished BMW.</p> <p style="margin-bottom: 1em;">This BMW is equipped with a Progressive Suspension Rear Monoshock. A pair of original BMW Integral Cases and mounts are included. It is also equipped with an Aeroflow Tall Tinted Windscreen.</p> <p style="margin-bottom: 1em;">We would be happy to answer any questions you have about this BMW motorcycle; please call us at 614.837.1160.
