if you don't mind me asking. how much do you pay for the cafe seat?

Contact Ricky_Racer here on this forum. He's the guy to talk with about pricing.

Where'd you source your shiny new fork tubes?  Frank?

I only ask because I recently had trouble finding some, myself.  I ended up ordering some good-condition used forks from eBay.

Cheers and great-looking bike!

Yeah, they're from Forks by Frank. I think you can order them thru cyclexchange.net too.

"Dude", I like the way the K is set up. The only thing I would do differently would be to bob the rear fender. However, the bike still looks sweet either way. So let me make sure I have the record straight. You with a cafe'd 750F (http://www.newbonnevilleriders.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1239) and you're "better half" with a 750k? Man, if I came home with bike for my wife for her birthday... well let just say it wouldn't be pleasant and I'd never hear the end of it. ;D

Cheers,
