BMW K75 Airbox & Fuel Tank Removal | Cafe Racer Build

The BMW K75 cafe racer is getting stripped down a little further. With the major components already coming off the bike, this stage is about getting access to the areas that are hidden beneath the factory layout — particularly the electrics and ABS system.

The fuel tank comes off, the airbox is removed and we get a much better look at the wiring, fuel system and the space available for the changes that are coming later in the build.

There's also a look at battery alternatives, including a tiny battery that is capable of firing up the BMW K75 while taking up a fraction of the space of the original unit.

Once the airbox is out of the way, the individual throttle bodies are exposed and the bike gets its first proper clean-down as the teardown continues.
