Modified K-Series (Bricks)

Let's see them. The good, the bad and Fanum's.

Apart from the colour, I quite like this:

The biggest question is; How has he fitted that huge rear wheel and been able to retain the non-Paralever swingarm?

As a contrast:

My mate has a K100 with a saxon paralever frame. He has the rights to manufacture the frame.
I did lots of testing and riding on the prototype back in 1990, in fact i've ridden the most miles on it and did the longest journey.
It's sat in his garage for the last 20years as he never put any into production.

It's very very low but slightly longer than a standard K.
Amazing handling, same typer of set up as a BMW paralever, but with a trellis frame.

As there's a K75 with a K-RS fairing (above), to balance things out:

(not sure I'd have gone as far as the smoke-paint job).

Another "street-fighter" variant. This time using a K1100 as the starting point:

They're Heidenaus, aren't they.... :nenau

M+S compound would be great for the winter.

I quite like it including the colour (which looks like Triumph fireball orange mk1 speed triple). Would look better if he had fitted a normal round headlamp to it.

The tangoed one is very nice , all except the headlamp.
