K1/2 Seats?
« on: May 17, 2018, 06:10:59 AM »
Hello.
I wish to fit my K1 with a repro Guilairi seat.
However it appears that these seats are only available
For K2 models onwards.
Can anyone tell me the difference between the K1 & K2 seats.
Is it just the catch/lock? Would it just be a case of using a K2
Seat lock which I believe just clamps round the frame,?
Your thoughts would be appreciated.
Sean.

Yes, the difference is the seat lock.

You will need to change your Ko/K1 seat catch for a K2-K6 part. Easy job, its srewed onto the frame.

You cant just change the hook on the Giuliari for a K1 hook because it will not fit the K1 catch by about 2cm
