seat options, Kz1000

Are there any seat options (other than the corbin gunfighter) for a 80 kz1000? Will a seat interchange from another bike?

If you have the tools (metal fab) and knowledge, any seat (for the most part anyways) under latch/mount can be modified to fit on these old girls.

As for a direct fit which is most probably what you're asking, unknown to me anyways.

Do you still have a seat where you can reshape the foam?
There are several members that have bent the metal and re-foamed for some interesting designs. Maybe something your looking for, custom! ;)

Plummen, that seat is the Corbin Gunfighter & the Lady or close to it in design anyways. I bought one, they're nice! Well built!

NOTE: The back rest is optional and I did not buy that. I figure she falls off, well, then she should of held on better when I hit the throttle. Next (wife that is)! :laugh:

BTW, Corbin also offers original style KZ seats....

Teacher, nope, no images where I believe Keith got frustrated with trying to insert images (multiple postings) and just said see Mr Mogoo.. :laugh:
