BMW K75 Marrakesh [1985–1997] - Marrakesh K75 Kit

Modular Marrakesh conversion concept for the BMW K75

The Marrakesh concept was developed as an easy-to-install, individually configurable solution for the BMW K75. The coordinated components combine a clean, minimalist design with everyday practicality while still allowing a passenger to ride along. The accessories described below are interchangeable and available separately, allowing the conversion to be configured according to individual requirements.

Front, cockpit and lighting

• Headlight guard: Handcrafted from stainless steel and treated with a durable powder coating. The required mounting hardware is included. NB Not approved for road use.
• Basic headlight: Powerful headlight including bulbs and mounting hardware.
• Headlight bracket for the K Series: Powder-coated steel structure designed to accommodate the Basic headlight and optional Hubert fairing. It can also accommodate a digital instrument bracket in place of the original cockpit. The original ignition switch unit fits into the prepared housing. Distance between headlight mounting points: 203 mm. Not suitable for the K1100.
• Acewell digital instrument with sensor kit: Replaces the original cockpit and provides a speed display up to 300 km/h, tachometer, trip and total mileage, time, maximum speed, and partial and total riding time. The two-line LCD features blue LED backlighting and an analogue tachometer bar. It also includes indicators for turn signals, lights, oil pressure, neutral and engine faults. The wheel circumference can be adjusted from 1 to 3999 mm; speed can be displayed in kilometres or miles. The waterproof housing measures 73 mm in diameter and 41 mm in height. The kit includes a speed sensor with magnet, wheel and fork brackets specially developed for the K Series, wiring with waterproof connectors, and installation instructions.
• Relay for the K Series: Specially developed circuit ensuring the neutral indicator functions correctly in conjunction with the Acewell digital instrument. Dimensions: 16 × 16 × 45 mm.
• Four Basic turn signals: Set of four compact turn signals including bulbs and wiring. The front turn signals feature an orange light on the rear.

Chassis, fork and ergonomics

• Fork gaiters: Rubber gaiters that protect the fork tubes when riding off paved roads. Suitable for all K models.
• Neoprene fork protectors: Two hook-and-loop protectors that protect the fork sliders and cover the area between the triple clamps. Installation takes only a few minutes without removing the fork.
• Front fender: Ready-to-install fender made from special resin with carbon fibre reinforcements and a matte black finish. Metal brackets for mounting it to the fork are included.
• Steel handlebar: Attaches to the original risers. The existing cables and lines do not need to be replaced, with the exception of the brake hose. Width: 78 cm.

Fairing and seat area

• Tank panels: Left and right panels made from special resin with a matte black finish. Mounting brackets are included; installation uses the original mounting points.
• Side panels: Pair made from ABS for the central area of the K Series. The included brackets and screws allow installation without drilling, welding or otherwise modifying the frame.
• Marrakesh tank graphics: Pair of modular decals with protective UV film. The individual elements can be freely combined to create different designs and are suitable for K Series tanks.
• Seat: Made from first-grade genuine leather combined with water-repellent canvas and handcrafted cotton-thread stitching. The ABS base is supplied with a mounting frame for K75 and K100. The seat can be removed quickly to access the storage compartment. Maximum length: 55 cm. Available in Brown/Sand and Black/Black.

Exhaust and rear conversion

• K75 silencer: Handcrafted system with a stainless steel connector, titanium silencer and removable dB killer. The components are TIG-welded; the design still allows the motorcycle to be used with a passenger. For the 16-valve model with a one-piece silencer, four adapters sold separately are required. NB: A complete homologation report is provided.
• Rear frame with license plate holder and tail light: Visually shortens the rear section and repositions the license plate and the included approved tail light. Special expanders allow attachment to the frame without welding or subsequent painting. The original rear fender can be retained or replaced with a classic aluminium version. Includes a painted metal frame, tail light with bulbs, and an aluminium license plate holder with mounts for the Basic turn signals; the turn signals themselves are not included. License plate holder dimensions: 185 × 185 mm.
