does anyone here know of a good places to find custom rear fenders for z650 or any z for that matter? I am particularly interested in the type of rear fender seen on almost every bike in Mad Max. Kind of racing style that is also a single-seat conversion. Has anyone here done this? Thanks

Thanks all for your replies, that forum for cafe racers is pretty sweet. However every seat I saw from these links is completely different from what I'm looking for. I guess the best way to describe it would be kind of a vintage GP seat. Here's a good example:

This is one that I got from classic glass. I ended up cutting just the round part off and making a metal pan I also modified the frame to make it fit right ;)
