Should you find that the rear caliper has to be removed to extract the wheel/tyre unit, remove the metal/rubber mounting between the exhaust and frame, and check the length of the pillars the bolts pass through. Mine were 22mm long and on checking my 1996 year K bike the pillar height was 15mm. This is still long enough for the rubber mounting not to hit the frame. The tyre now easily clears the caliper unit.
This shorter pillar part had been fitted from new on the K75RT.
PS - cut the bolts by a similar amount!
Hope this assists.
