These naked k’s look good for a pose around which I spose is the whole point but taking the fairing off makes them awful to ride above 50.

Would it be cycnical to suggest that that could be because they're very modular in construction, with a self contained motor&drive unit that is very easy to fit custom bits onto?
The flying brick was used by Arnold Wagner for the Ecomobile for precisely that reason.

Re: interesting bikes found randomly..
When I had my K there was a thing about frame "harmonics"! The idea was you undid all major bolts and if there was a gap between the frame and engine, you shimmed it with a washer or two. I think I did it and I think it worked.
Probably didn't though?
