seat woes

Ok I got a seat of ebay from a 650. What it really was, was a seat from a 750. That is what the insurance card in the seat said. So my question is what seats will fit my 79 Kz650? This is the last piece I need to finish up the new body. I need to kow what years to look for and what different models will fit. I now the SR is a bit different but what makes it different? How can I know for sure which model of the Kz do I have? I think I have a C but am not sure. If you can help it will be appreciated.

as for figureing out what bike you have, you can go to buykawasaki.com and under owener info you can type in your bikes vin number located on the neck of the frame and it should tell you wich model it is.

as for what seat works on a 650 sorry i cant help there im sure some of the 650 gurues around kzr can help you there.

Ok I have another request for you guys. I am trying to figure out what I am working with. So if you could take some pics of your seat and the hinges. I can not for the life of me figure out what I have. If any of you have read my other posts my back came with that wierd body kit on it. I need to find out what seatpan I need to get. I need to know where your hinges are in relation to the batery box and what model you guys have. The seatpan I have now does not line up at all so im off to search for a new one.

Rattler that site was a real help. I figured out I have a 1979 kz custom C3. Now I only have to find a seat with the number 53001-1194. It looks like the flat one with the belt that goes around it.

The part number cross-reference is a good start, but don't limit your searching to only the models it shows as exact matches for any particular part.
Example:
Kawi makes two front master cylinders that are identical in every aspect, except one is coated black while the other is bare metal - yep, you guessed it, diff part numbers. And the kicker is that the cross-reference listing may only show the bare one as fitting a bike you're wanting to put it on, but the coated one won't show since that bike has a bare metal theme to it.
There are more than just a few examples of this scenario, which can make finding a part that fits a slight headache at times.

The seats from the following years and models are a direct bolt-on to your bike:
'77~'79 KZ650B
'77~'79 KZ650C (Custom)
'80 KZ650F (Custom)

The KZ650D (SR) seat won't fit without a bit of "tweaking" - not only is the foam shaped differently, the pan and mounts are also slightly diff.
