The Nav III was standard equipment about ten years ago. If you also have the base and the factory power plug you only have to find a suitable switched 12V and earth point. I have the Nav III unit on my K1200R and it plugs directly into the wiring loom up the front. My suggestion, for keeping the electrical portion of the installation tidy, is to determine the plug type of the Nav you have and obtain the other side of the plug with a length of loom from BMW. These images are what's available from BMW. They're readily available, though not always cheap, but will provide you with an easily removable plug that you wire in to the aforementioned power and ground points. Where and how you physically mount the unit and cradle is a custom affair. There was a bloke selling a metal 'shelf' that fit behind and across the RS windscreen. I have one in Australia, but have never fit it to the bike. A handlebar mount such as RAM or other might be preferable on a K75, but you don't specify which model 75 you have....recommend placing that info in your signature line for all to see at a glance.
HERE is a link to the ETK page so you can access the part numbers of the plug you need.

1977. It was a very good year. Somewhere.
