newbie k75 height

[zyban]

hi all, am looking at buying a ex police k75 & wonder if anyone has one so i can pick your brains about the seat height & width.

i am 5"1 so height is a definite issue.

I've got a K100, and the sizing is not dissimilar.

Its a good height for me, and i'm 6'1 (Though skinny as fook), however, you can buy a "low seat" for both bikes, and that does drop it by a lot. Its also not badly weighted, but the K100 especially is VERY heavy to get onto the main stand. (240kgs)

If it is an Ex-pol bike, it might still have the police single seat conversion. If so, i have been led to believe that it is also marginally lower than the standard one.

[Edit] Figures for K75 are same as K100:

Seat Height (Unladen)

810 mm (31.90 inches) or 760 mm (29.90 inches) for low seat model

Might be worth giving Danny a PM, as he’s got an ex-police K75. I’ve ridden it and don’t recall it feeling particularly short or anything. Think the seat was moderately wide and the bike it’s self is fairly heavy.

thanks for that, it is 810mm so what i need to do is find a lower seat kit & convert to dual seat $$$$$$$
