Very nice ... That did not look stock ... even for a K bike. Well done. Simple. Clean.

Rigged this up. Not my first pick but it works until I re-shape/cover it.

These 2 bikes show how to get things right and wrong.

The black bike looks purposeful, the seat and the tank fit as a whole and the striping bring the 2 together. The first bike with the alloy tank just looks a mess, the seat and the tank are at an angle to each other, making it look as if the bike has a hinge in the middle. The stock air filter cover has been removed and the battery relocated under the gear box, but this has left a ruddy great gap in the bike that just emphasizes the spindly nature of an airhead frame. It's all wrong!

R75/6 with police solo seat, 2nd try to post pics, sorry

This is a 1976 R75. I tried to install an HD police solo seat with air ride, but was impossible without loosing the toolbox, which I found very handy. So I went with the old school solution of 3" springs. Ride is extremely confortable, but I lost a lot of the butt sensing/feeling too. Will recommend it for 8+ hours of riding. I probably will go with a narrow solo version later, this is too wide for me.

This:



But if that one sitting on the deck doesn't satisfy, want to trade it for something...like money and/or airhead parts?
