"After a year of trial and error we can now present our new metal based authentic looking seat which includes the rubbers and owners manual lid for a mere £69 + Vat (if app). We have managed to keep them at this low price through mass production so order a second one for a friend, or a bike you might buy at:

We have yet again run out of the muffler kits (Because the factory have a very high reject rate and production is slow), as a consequence we have a limited number of factory seconds which are outstanding value.To find fault, you have to look fairly closely. See or order them at :

Turn that £2k bike into a £5k bike!"

Is he trying to pull the wool over your eyes Ash ? The seat has the right pan but, the wrong cover for a K2. Good for a range of USA 750's or UK 750K6  ;)

Just trying to pass on info from his FB page for anyone who's interested, as the pipes in particular looked like a good price to me, plus how much would a decent metal pan and foam cost?. Personally I don't need any of that stuff as I only own the K0 and won't ever buy another 750. However, I maintain he and David at Saisei are helping us along the way with our resto's. Probably only one of the two 'Davids' is making a lot out of it but it's early days for Saisei and we should be championing him on here IMHO.

DS had some bikes at Mecum Auction last week  plus there were loads more there but hardly anyone there and hence nobody really bidding. Reckon there would have been some incredible bargain there.

Trigger:
Thank you Ash for sharing this info but, I wonder how many people have jumped the gun and bought a seat that is wrong for a K2. I hate false info just for profit and can't understand why DSS just did not put the right pattern cover on in the first place.

The DS seat looks just like the one fitted to my 1974 K4 US model.....with regards to the top panel and the number and layout of the rectangular sections....I have been looking for some time for a replacement seat cover, but those I have seen don't look anything like my old one and more importantly for me (I'm not a purist) is whatever I buy MUST have the HONDA logo on the rear. The exhausts are interesting as I imported a set of 'no number' 300's last year from the US which cost me £1430 (with shipping, Customs Duty and VAT) so I have snapped up a set of DS 'seconds' and I'll take my chances on them being OK. In DS's favour, £6 for shipping them is really good......to be honest DS does sell a lot of parts which are fairly priced compared to some Suppliers who seem to think that because something is 'old' it's worth 10 times the normal or expected price. Coming from a Manufacturing background, I believe that DS must make savings through quantity purchases and like anything else.......if we want to keep a healthy supply of parts for our bikes, then we should support DS as much as we can.
