What tail section is this?

Post by Bikeazoid » Fri Dec 11, 2020 6:56 pm

Hi, I was checking out the pix and saw this yellow Kat with a different tail section.

Question, what is this? I really like the rolled leather (or not) seating.

it's either a tasteless mess, or a design masterstroke. I can't quite decide.

It’s absolutely shaite.
It's faster to break than to repair.

That’s a Speer body kit on a Kat. German accessory company.

The paint job can make it, or not...

This is how it looked like in full armor.

It's not so bad in that picture. But I have had a large Amaretto with a malt chaser.

Does anyone know where to get this tail? Or even the plans to make it in a 3D printer?

That's the Ikon Kat prototype. Only chance to make yourself a one off copy thing, I'm afraid.
