MKII Seat vs. Shaftie Seat

RonKZ650 - thanks soooo much for the seat. It looks excellent! I don't know if I have the heart to hack it up but if I do, the pan will be perfect for a custom seat.

Thanks again.

Here's another example of confusing auctions on KZ seats, check this out:

Link to Seat

Now, in this auction the seller states, "75-80 KZ 900-1000-MARK II". This cannot be true for many reasons. There were no MKII's in '75-78, there are no MKII 900's, and the KZ900 and 1000 A models use a different seat completely, and so does the shaft model (as we all know).

According to racerZ, it's up to the bidder to ask the seller if it fits the MKII, even though it says "MKII" in the auction. What do you all think about this? Just asking for curiosity sake....

It appears to be set up for a KZ900/early model KZ1000A/B but no latch...the seller is probably trying to push a seat that ordinarily wouldn't sell

OK, here's yet another thing to confuse me on the whole "MKII seat vs shaftie seat" thing.

I'm trying to ID this seat and the decal underneath lists both models! If the seats are different then I guess both models shared the same decal for 1980. Question is though, how do I tell which seat this is??

do you have a link to the seller of those seats?

And here's the seat I really want. I'd like to have Ron's seat reworked to look like this:

That's from PMC Japan and you can order them through Jeff at Z1 Enterprises. That specific seat was out of production for about a year but it's back and I just got one! :woohoo: Pretty damn nice for a knock off! They also have the stock replicas for about the same price....$225 or so depending on the dollar vs. the yen. Jeff only charges shipping from him to you, not from Japan so it's great. Here's the PMC link if you want to day dream. They have some awesome stuff and Jeff can get you all of it.
