BMW K75 Rearsets & ABS Removal | Cafe Racer Build
The BMW K75 cafe racer transformation continues with two significant changes to the bike: fitting rearset foot pegs and removing the factory ABS system.
Rearsets are one of those modifications that immediately change the character of a cafe racer. Moving the foot controls back gives the BMW K75 a more aggressive riding position while also helping create the cleaner, stripped-back appearance we're after.
With the rearsets going on, there's also more work on the original BMW components, including the side and center stand and the rear brake.
The factory intake gets some attention too, with air pods fitted and a lesson learned when the K75 refuses to run without its MAF. There's also some custom paint work and a few ideas for the mudguard as the overall design starts to take shape.
