Instrument Cluster Question

[Teslaesque]

I've cracked the clear plastic lens over the speedo on my '88 K75C, and need to replace the bezel. Luckily enough, a seller on ebay is offering NOS ones for a pretty reasonable price (see item #270254078010). However, the seller wants me to specify if I need a 13 or 15 hole bezel. Can anyone tell me which one my bike has, so that I don't have to take the thing off just to find out, then take it off again when the new one comes? It'd save me a couple hours of wrenching. Thanks!

I think all the K75's had 15 screw holes in the pod cover. You might want to
inquire with the dealer on Ebay to be sure.

You want the 15.

BMW lists them as 7 or 9 based on how many screws are around the perimeter of the housing (not counting the four mounting holes and the two screw holes in the center).

They changed from 7 (13) to 9 (15) in April of 1985. The first US K75 was built in July of 1985. So like 35634 said, all US K75 came with the 9 (15) hole instrument clusters.

That's a hell of a price!!! They list for $149.
