The BMW parts fiche does not show the screw/bolt that screws through the fairing backing into the turn signal. You guys and gals out there with K75Cs, can you take a look at the screw I'm talking about and tell me it's size or maybe post a photo?

The screws that came with the bike was a course thread and a hex head nut (not allen). I think it was not stock. It's on Hwy 36 somewhere.
I will try #11 but I think it is too short, fine threaded and it's designed to screw into square nut #7. The signal light housing is plastic and needs a courser thread to 'catch' it.

On the turn signal fiche page there is a 32MM screw, but that is for the front signal of the K75S.

Sorry,
I thought your red line indicated the screw you were missing. :hungover
How about Item #4 here:

It looks to be a course thread sheetmetal-style screw 30mm long.

The red line is the screw I'm missing and the screw on the diagram that they don't show.

I thought of trying #4. I will when I get the chance. thanks.

Any photos out there?

Why don't you take the one out from the other side and go shopping at Orchard Supply or Home Depot?

Or am I missing something?

You know those screws they use to hold the rear turn signals on? It's got the coarse thread? The one in the front is just like that, only longer.
