Hi everybody
Been on the site for a while now and thought it time i said hello.I have a K75s that has 30k on it.I also have about 70% of another that i am working on at the moment.I am working on the rear end trying to develop a new swing arm and suspension set up.Anybody in the Huddersfield area????
Regards Alan

Motorworks is up the Huddersfield aerea - but then you knew that by now!

Hi Alan, Welcome to the Den of all things K im in Brighouse and my mates in Hipperhome a skip and a jump from you if we can help at all just shout

Hi Moriarti
Do you have any spares?
Maybe we can meet when all the dust has settled?

Welcome to this great sight I am near Burnley on the Halifax side K.

I don't except for a Hall Sensor, biggest job iv had is changing spark plugs,lucky me
i do have the CLYMER Manual if you wont a loan of that.

Thanks for the offer to loan your manual but i am going to buy one.

Pop over to the Portal page where you have access to a BMW manual.

Welcome Alan

Hi Alan
That sounds interesting - the swingarm. When all this current stuff has passed you'd be more than welcome to call over and swap ideas (not that I've got much worth swapping!) We're near M1 J36. Take care.

Thanks for the welcome everybody.
I will post pics of my swingarm when it is finished.don,t hold your breath though.

Welcome

I thought Chris was bad, must be something in the water in Yorkshire - it looks great.

Love the skeletal design.
Torsional rigidity?

Depends on the wall thickness I would think Chris. Based on what Guzzi use, 2mm would be more than sufficient for that design.

The tube is seamless 3mm wall.
Don’t know what the drive will be like as there is no Cush drive so it might clunk a bit.going to try it on my K75

During development of the K engine the clutch plate on the '75 was uprated/altered to a modfied R80 item so's it could cope with the power pulses from the triple. Mind you, BeeEmm were building these things to last a gazillion miles (and succeeded it seems) so my guess is you'll be okay without the cush rubbers in the driveshaft. Have you welded the splined ends on?

The pics only show the swing arm tacked together,it is now fully welded. I will take another pic of it .i turned spigots on both ends of the drive shaft for locations and is now welded together
