Interesting ..... yes. You could call it that.

I presume the large 'hump' was to prevent the owners guide-dog slipping off the back under hard acceleration.

I briefly tried to work out what it's made out of. First thoughts were a CB900/750f seat plastic/ ducktail, but it looks to chunky for that.   Maybe part of a fairground boat....!   

Then I gave up.

Old pvc covered sofa arm with a waffle maker stuck on the rear! It is not a good look, quite like the tank though!

Well it was a K3 once so not worth a lot to start with.
Probably £500 to take it away!!

Got some Marzocchis AG Strada dampers fitted, worth a few quid by themselves.

Already got a pair of Marzocchi AG Strada shocks Dave, fully refurbished. Got a set of Konis on the go just in case.

Yes Ken but I bet you haven't got a K3 in the collection😉. In the words of Mrs Doyle from Father Ted, "Go On, Go On , Go On, Go On" Make that offer and then we'll know what's in that seat!
