Funny thing about regret is...... its better to regret something you have done than to regret something you haven't done.

That's not my bike.  I was just posting the pictures for the OP because he had the tags wrong.

Taking the chance of being corrected later... I think those are bridgestone BT45s. A fine bias ply tire for our uses.

I do believe you are correct. I have the same red stripe on my brand new rear one too.
Last year I joined a support group for procrastinators.

Bridgestones bt45s correct with raask rearsets.

have removed one of the passenger mounts but kept the right hand one for the number plate mount.

cheers for all the appreciation

Next question is where did you hide the battery and oil tank, or have you just not mounted them yet?

Ah, that's why she looks so svelte.  ;D

I was thinking of relocating the battery and changing the oil tank on my 750K5 sometime in the future. I wonder if I could fit both in the tail? *scratches head*
