After flying out to Fresno CA to pick up my "new" 1992 K75/2 and ride it home a very non direct 3,500 miles, I discovered the low seat and my knees did not like each other.
So I bought a new standard seat from San Diego BMW, if memory serves me correctly, for a pretty attractive price.
It arrived and I put it on. It fit tighter than the low seat, but I did not have to force it unduly to get the seat latch to engage. Shortly thereafter I left the K75 at Grass Roots BMW in Cape Girardeau, MO to install YSS rear shock and Hyperpro progressive fork springs 'cause I'm old, fat and ugly.
And I left the next day for Port Arthur, TX.
They also lubed the splines for me (both between engine and transmission and after the transmission). I hesitate to call the latter spline anything associated with the words Final Drive
Now the wonderful K75/2 is in Texas. Yesterday I went down to the apartment garage (that I get to pay $150 per month for) to install a Curt Gran www.fuzeblocks.com and discovered that my nice standard seat would not come off. The release leaver works. I can even feel it move the small diameter connecting rod. I even hear what I think is the sound of the latch moving, but I may just be dreaming.
So does anybody know the secret password to get my seat to lift up when I pull the "trigger".
I am taking my bike to Gulf Coast BMW in Houston on Saturday morning for Motolights and a new BT45 rear tire. I hope they don't have to saw my seat in half to get it off.
