I wish I could get my hands on a Giulari for my 650! <br><br>Post edited by: mariozappa, at: 2008/01/30 15:17

is that a fancy seat then? i just bought it off ebay because i thought it would look better than the original!

cheers for the praise guys, i have a few more purchases (hopefully) on the way to me in the post.

Giulari seats were made for quite a while, and the style you have is my favorite.

I have only ever seen a few for sale here in the states.

hannah1 thats a great looking bike, what year is it? and do you know what bike the swing arm is off?

Thanks . It's a 1980 KZ550 "B" model , originally imported into Germany , then exported to US . I didn't build it , though I plan to rebuild it in the ELR style . The swingarm , rear brake and triple clamps are apparently made by WiWo . See link to more photos incl. swingarm and triple clamp closeup . I plan to use stock GPz pegs , GPz 1/4 fairing and a black Kerker . I will do the bodywork in Kaw lime green , black frame and gold or black wheels . s163.photobucket.com/albums/t289/mg15_photos/
