Hi guys,

I would like to know if somebody can help me in getting images or drawings of the chassis part of the BMW R75. I need the part that goes from the front wheel attachment to the seat (the one where the fuel depot is attached). I got a picture of it from the top from a parts catalog but is inconsistent with the photos I have (according to all the photos I've seen of it it should be more cylindrical at the part that goes the seat). I would like to see it from the side and from the top.

I would also like to get a photo or drawing of the botton of the fuel depot. If it is possible not attached to the bike it would be the best.

I am in the process of super-detailing LionRoar's BMW R75 with sidecar and already cut the fuel depot to try to replicate it as much as possible.

Best regards,
Angel

Thanks a lot Frenchy and Sdavies!

Frenchy, do you happen to have a photo of the downside of the fuel depot?

Thanks in advance,

You can find the replica of a 1940 R75 gas tank here :

...I must say I don't know if it's accurate but it resembles the restored "Sahara" variant gas tank you can see here :

Hi Frenchy,

Thanks again for your help.

I am sorry for my late reply but at office I cannot access armorama and at home I am packaging everything since soon they will transfer me to another place. At the present time I am in Qingdao (China) and don't know where they will transfer me.

Best regards,
Angel

Hi Frenchy,

Do you happen to have any link to the fuel depot of the old version without air filter included?

Thanks in advance,
Angel
