This was on my 86 K75C when I bought it. It's a Corbin pan with a low seat and cover from an upholstery shop in Oregon. It's too low for me but is in good shape and works fine with stock hardware. $75 plus actual shipping cost. Will meet you if you are local to Houston, TX.

That looks like a well-remodeled Corbin Gunfighter (https://www.corbin.com/bmw/8696gun.shtml).

Corbin Gunfighters do not have a shaped passenger seat. The rear is shaped to match the tail cowl slope. I've never seen a low seat Gunfighter. Standard seat Gunfighter:

Well, you have now because it was probably remodeled when reupholstered. icon_cheers From Corbin's descriptive text, . . . featuring a deep sculpted bucket . . .. It's perfect for gun-fighting lovers on a crime spree.

Challenge: Find me one picture of a low seat Gunfighter. Good luck!
(Hint: Corbin only ever made one style K low seat - and it had a sculpted pillion seat.)

Challenge: Find me a photo of the sloshing contents of a transcontinental bus latrine. Bon voyage! Hint: There's a Greyhound Bus station in Seattle.

Any idea why they never made a Gunfighter for pre-1986 K100's?

Corbin could have been waiting to determine if the K-series would be attractive to wannabe desperados and renegades. That was a good strategy because the tail cowl change in the later models would have meant re-designing the product. 177381 177381

Action shot with the seat on the bike at the Dalles (OR) a few years ago. Looks good on the bike (I think) but I needed more leg room and went back to the stock seat.

I like the birds-in-flight element captured in that shot. 112350
If you want to make a Brick's seat comfortable enough for all-day riding, you'll skillfully remodel it with one of these products (https://www.supracor.com/products/show/1)—the Classic and Slimline are candidates, and maybe the contoured models would work well. My Brick's seat was modified with this stuff; it's now a pleasure to ride long distances.

In the US the K100 wasn't introduced until 1985. Making seats for a single year bike probably didn't make sense to them.
That's my guess.

Is this seat still available? Think it will fit a '91 K75S?
-
Yes, still available. I think it will fit a 91 K75s; the part numbers of the seats are the same (per MAX microfiche). PM sent.
