I acquired this 2V K-bike seat the other day. I think it is a factory "comfort" seat. It looks a lot like a Corbin touring seat but the seat pan is not a Corbin, it is the factory pan.
If anyone is interested, make me an offer.
Thanks,
Tom
Hi,
I have a Corbin on my recently acquired '88 k75C. I'm the third owner, the orig. owner was a woman and I think she put a "lower seat" than factory. Do you have a pic of the seat and any idea of the height? Thanks

Just to add my $2 worth - not sure how Motodude can tell by those pics that it a standard seat - as opposed to the comfort model.
I have 2 standard K75's with factory low seats - and also a K75S with a standard seat.
The 2 are not interchangable, really - the comfort has a deeper side pan to help cover the "not fitted" side panels.
The comford seat is also shorter - as it also uses a "rubber" bolt-on pad at the back of the tank, that also doubles as knee pads. This means the seat itself needs to be shorter to incorporate this pad.
I just made the mistake of buying a brand new (old stock) standard seat - no way will it replace the comfort seat - which is what I wanted to do - also the standard seat hinges open on the RHS - whereas the comfort model unclips and removes completely. I thought a K75 seat would fit BOTH models - seems I was wrong!!

This is a factory standard, not a "low" seat like so many of the K75's seem to have. If your bike currently has a factory "low" seat, you'll need some additional bits to make this work. frankenduck or others on the list will know more than I do about converting from a low seat to a standard seat.
Questions?
