Just thinking about my comment about higher cog. Am I talking complete pish? Cos thinking about it now, buell put their fuel in the frame to lower the cog to make it handle better didn't they. So yes, I'm talking complete pish. Oh well, it made sense in my head

Still on topic, slightly. But would a k3 subframe fit a k5? As they are suppose to be higher?

Yes but with the K3 subframe you cant easily use the stock riders seat from the K4 onwards model as its a different shape to suit the angle at which it meets the tank.

Either use foam if a race seat unit or a K3 seat.
