nice..i have the original seat for that bike with all the hardware and the strap that goes on the cover..unfortunately the cover is cracked and dry but the seat is complete and as it came off the bike... you can buy the covers online for that exact pattern...i have just bought a cover from the company and they are exact factory matches....i paid 50 and ten shipping and want it gone...it was listed for another model...it is here if you want it someday...
i also have a mint front fender, with bright perfect chrome, scratch free ....perfect 10/10


anyways im just letting you know it is sitting unused at present and was bought hoping it would fit the chain drive models,it does not....and i wont use em...unless i find a cherry bike like yours,and man i hope i do someday...that is a nice one...

welcome and good pics...good on the tires too...here is a link to an article/articles about that model...i believe there are a few on the ST in this old thread

I got the bike in new york state, a barn find, was originally from NJ. The seat detaches with a lock and the ignition key.
I may take you up on that seat and/or the fender, as the fender i have does show some rust dots on it unfortunately.

I plan to keep it as stock as I can, both because it's in such nice condition, and monetary reasons.

That article is awesome! great blast from the past. thanks!

Very nice, incredible condition! That is a great find, I have a spare seat just like that in my shop plus a ridiculous amount of spare parts as finding good shaft parts is hard, finding a whole bike like that is a miracle!

Mine was a little less as nice when I found it but it came around nicely... my bank account didn't though! :laugh:

Somewhere on the board is the story of this bike from a few years ago. Bad Juju has been resting the past year as I had a ZRX to play with and too many other bikes to screw with. The Rex is gone now sadly and this one will be put back on the road in about a month if all goes to plan. Taking to a rally of GS Suzuki's to go "play" in south central Indiana's curves.
