I was playing around with the idea of building a scooter for my Dad and came up with this combo...

It is amazing how the RoadKing seat matches the lines of the K tank. It sits a little high but with the right handlebars...who knows

What do yall think?

sqitch the bars for something with about a 4 inch rise and you've got something there.

That doesn't look half bad. Where'd you get the HD RoadKing seat, and for how much?

I think its becoming a "Harlonda"

Does this mean It will constantly break down and leak everywhere? Or will I just need to buy lots of leather clothes and get more tattoos?

I agree. How could you. Doesn't the world have enough HD poser crap out there. Please don't go there. Your better than that. Walk away from the dark side.

All you "harley haters" Get over it!

Face it , the seat is cool.

It's just a seat guys! Don't worry, he's not replacing the SOHC4 with a V-twin!!

What! For you maybe, but I call out #$%* when I think something looks like #$%*. We were asked what we thought, I say HD or NOT it still looks like #$%*. It looks like a elephant #$%* on the back of the bike.

I agree.
I am not a fan of those seats even on the bike they were designed to be on.
I am sure you could find a solo that would "flow" with the bike better than that.
My 4cents...

DammitDan · « **Reply #17 on:** August 31, 2006, 07:47:28 AM »

Sheesh... You guys are harsh. And people say Harley riders hate Jap bikes.

I don't think it looks THAT bad. The flare up on the backside doesn't look completely natural, but I do like the "thick and muscular" look the tank and seat combo gives the bike. Maybe cut down the flare, or mount it in a way as to not be so noticeable?

cbjunkie · « **Reply #18 on:** August 31, 2006, 07:50:27 AM »

this doesn't have ANYTHING to do with Harley hate, bud...

DammitDan · « **Reply #19 on:** August 31, 2006, 07:53:39 AM »

I still say you can squinch it around and drop the back end (cut the bottom out?) a bit and make it look 10x better.

Pinhead · « **Reply #20 on:** August 31, 2006, 10:16:27 AM »

What happened to the pic??

DammitDan · « **Reply #21 on:** August 31, 2006, 03:49:25 PM »

Hope you didn't get intimidated by the criticism! It's your bike, do what you want with it!

(Why do you think cbjunkie rides around with pink tassles hanging from his handlebars?)

dammit-
didnt you read the obsenity standards. any post that qualifies as obsene can be removed or edited by a moderator. you know anything too gory full frntal nudity and yeah i think HD parts on a honda

adams-
post more pics, i want a better look at it, but regardless of what i end up thinking you are going to make the decision based on your own ass and not these guys. way to think outside of the you know what, though.
good luck,
-KK
