parts compatibility

i've just become the proud owner of a 1979 kz750! it's my first bike. there are some slight modifications that i'd like to do to it, so i was wondering if anyone could tell me what, if any, years are parts interchangeable with my bike? More specifically I am looking to replace the flat stock seat with a contoured one. any suggestions? thanks.

So, is your bike the 1979 750-twin or the 1979 production date 750-four?

the twin. i belive.

The 750 4 cylinder and the KZ650 the frames are the same. The twin is a whole different beast

You might get quicker answers by joining the following forum www.armbell.com/forum/index.php?mforum=kz400 as they have a section just for 750-twins. A number of members there are 750 owners and are a wealth of info.

i have a 78 twin sitting in the corner if you need any parts

I can't believe how cool everyone on this site is. and helpful. to solve my issue i just went ahead and took my seat to an upholster and had it custom built so that i know it will fit. but thanks again to everyone that replied and offered their help. im now a devoted kzrider member! just waitin for the snow to melt so i can hit the road!
