That seat really looks great, most of the seats i've seen look like hack jobs but that one is awesome.

That is tiiiiiiight!! Awesome job. I want a new seat so bad and the only ones I like are bout $400 from Corbin. After looking at this and how it sits on there I think I am reaching for my credit card!!

1975 Z1 900, 1075 wiesco kit, web cams, smooth bores, dyna ignition, denco pipe, lester mags, wicked bad rotors, custom gauge face plates .. not much stock left.

Thanks!

I found it much cheaper to carve up a cheap seat and get it professionally recovered locally. Baldy's custom one-off Corbin was my inspiration for this seat I just didn't want the associated cost!:P

Wow that is a killer transformation. Let's see the rest of the bike! I think a more modern style wheel will really pull the bike together, but really nice work!

Wow, I got nothing but golf-claps and cat-calls to throw at that! Nice lookin' bike; cool headlight (on a bike that's worthy of that head-light...:whistle: :laugh: )!

I hope my KZ project turns out half as nice as your's did, :unsure: I like all the updates with the dual lights and all the other stuff. You did a great job, you should be proud of that ride for sure.
