There i am. The next step is the seat and the tail light. It the biggest part of the project.

clubman, rearset, exhaust wrap, pod filter, turn signal, paint and bar-end mirror.




And the seat i want:

Welcome to KZR, great to have you here.

IMHO, bike looks great as is... I like stockish machines... but I understand your issue with the seat.

Looking forward to seeing what you create.

Best of success. :)

Gotta give you credit for how it looks now. I have a couple kz750 ltd's in my shop now. One for parts and one to restore.

I love the look of yours. I'm just getting one running for my daily driver and was wondering where you got the handlebars, and the exhaust?

Also, did you relocate the foot pegs and shift linkage?

Hey guys !

I'm new on this forum. I brought a KZ750 4 1982 this year and I'm changing a couple of parts to get a better bike. This project from Philk7 is really helpful for me! Now I'm looking to change my seat. I started some idea to make a costum one but I'm not sure it's a good idea if I dont cut the frame or change the rear fender...

So, I would like a seat like Philk7 have on the last two pictures. Can you guys help me to fing what it is ?

Thanks in advance.
Louis

It's probably a seat from a 70s standard model. Z1, KZ900-A, KZ650-B/C/F, 750-B Twin.
Chances are that the hinges on a different seat will not line up. I'd guess that an 80-82 750E Standard seat will bolt on, but those are not the flat ironing board type --- the passenger section is slightly raised. You could get yours reshaped & recovered.
