BMW K75 Cafe Racer Rear Frame | Seat & Tail Section

With the original rear frame already heavily modified, the next challenge is figuring out exactly how the seat and tail section should work together on the BMW K75 cafe racer.

This episode is very much about trial and error. Different rear frame solutions are explored, the front of the fuel tank is raised, and several tail section ideas are test fitted — including experimenting with a Kawasaki tail piece.

Once the direction starts to become clearer, the rear frame is chopped and reshaped before the modified section is test fitted back onto the bike. The tail piece then gets a custom candy paint treatment, followed by a few final tweaks to refine the proportions.

Getting the rear of a cafe racer right is about more than simply fitting a seat. The relationship between the tank, seat, frame and tail section determines the overall stance of the motorcycle, so this stage is all about finding the combination that looks right.
