I am trying to make my 1992 K75RT in to a slight cafe racer but not all the way.
Fairings removed, round headlight added. I liked the look but had to many people make coments at the large brick gauge cluster. So cafe style fairing added. Still to go front turn signals paint I'm thinking white replace badges and a custom solo seat shaped to the rear fairing.
Hi Hayden,
Nice project and bike.
If you like the look of the naked style then you could just swap in less intrusive gauges. I believe that some on here have done something of the sort so, if you ask around, you should be able to find some help.
Personally I like both looks (BTW, Nice find on the little chin fairing :2thumbup:.)
As to the seat....Both Corbin and BMW have made something similar to what you describe. Corbin had two saddles, one was one of their rumble seats(cant remember the name they used for it back in the day) and the other was a solo called a gunslinger. Now days these seats are out of production, though you can still find them used on occasion (Corbin will re-cover for $400-ish dollars).
BMW's seat was called the solo AFIK.
I'm looking into different handle bars
Back in the late 70's and early 80's Fu-bars and some Z-bar types were popular. I suggest that you find a bar with only a 2"-3" rise and a profile that allows for it to be flipped (Flipping the bars is purely dependent on your preferred ratio of racer-style vs. comfort).
Hope this helps and again, nice bike,
