1975 KZ400 cafe project

It started with a broken down 400. I took the gas tank and other "body parts" and refinshed them in a 2010 Scion color called cement and made the stripes with GM synergy green with HOK gold flake in them. A co worker then put the bike back together in working order. I Am now working on the final cafe part of it. I switch the handle bars to clubman ones, chopped the front fender and painted it black, ripped the rear fender off and the only thing I need to do now is figure out how to get a better seat ( or just man up and try to make one) LED light bar brake/turn signals ( if any of you know where I can buy these please let me know) and front marker lights. here are some pics.
