'82 KZ750 CSR twin
20 Apr 2006 11:06
Hi Guys and Gals,
I'm a newbie to this group but not to biking. I've got a '82 KZ750 CSR twin that I'm rebuilding. I want to Upgrade the seat, w/a new aftermarket more back support seat. I've found several online but nothing for my specific bike. All around it though. Does anyone know what bikes have the same seat pan as mine or even suggestions on where to by a reasonable custom seat?
Thanks in advance
Ron

I do not know about the that year's seat, but I just wanted to welcome a fellow twin owner!

The 76-80 750 twin seats interchange, but I "think" the 82 and 83 seats mount differently. The 76-80 use a single hinge, I don't remember if the 82 uses one or two hinges.

Instead of tracking down a seat from the junkyard or the forums, take it to an upholstery shop, they can add as much backsupport as you like. Usualy under $100.

Thanks for the reply Max. That is an option,that I am considering. Now I just have to find a local upholstery place that works w/motorcycle seats. The foam is in pretty bad shape also.
