a great concept with this K1 outfit. no struggling on turns and you keep the solo bike feel . not much different to the flexit style sidecars.

another K1 ouitfit

If you must put a sidecar on a K1, that is better than most, but a chair on a K1 seems a little sacreligious to me.

Well you could make a "cafe" out of a K1. That would be the ultimate sacrelige.

Ok I'm lost how does that chair's location rods not touch the ground in right handers????

Here is another sidecar outfit for sale, maybe suit one of the Granddad's on the site

I've seen that outfit too.
I had to laugh and hopefully not,  but it looks like the steering damper is screwed to the petrol tank.

If you look at pic.3 on the ebay ad you can see the steering damper is attached to a bracket which dives into the fairing.

Any more pictures of the purple K100 in the foreground of the picture? Someone did some serious metal work...

It's not like you're going to make a K1 any uglier but adding a hack.

(I own a K1.)

I'd have no qualms whatsoever about putting a chair on a K1. There would be an extra couple of horsepower on offer in stock trim and it's hard to spoil the looks of a slightly disconcerted toffee apple.

I wonder if the bloke who designed the K1 and the bloke who designed the Ducati Paso went to the same rally, sat at the same camp fire etc.

Yeah, but does the Duc front fender crack after a couple of hundred miles of riding?


(I used to really hate K1s. But once I put a few miles on mine, it kind of started to grow on me, despite its quirkiness.)

No idea Duck, but it would be hard to deal with, most expect their front fender to last the length of the bikes time in their ownership.

&Y^$%&^%$@!
I've forgotten how to post pics here....Oh wait...that seems to have worked. Anyway...I like the look of this one too.
