sweetbro Topic Author Offline User Posts: 137 Thank you received: 1	I am converting a 1994 KZ1000 Police to a cafe kinda bike. It had the huge saddle like seat on it. What is the best seat/seat pan to start with to put a 2 person cafe seat on there? Or should I make my own and just buy any foam and make it work? What do you guys think is best? Thanks, -Josh

I think I might just buy a kz650 seat from ebay and adapt it to the cop subframe. We will see. If anyone on here has a 2 up seat they want to sell, let me know.

My progress has been snails pace, but this bike has been one of the funnest projects I have done. I havent updated the thread in a while, but look through it, you will get the idea of the direction I am going. Hope it helps.

The police frame is quite a bit different than a standard KZ, it really slings low at the seat area, and this is why I made my own seat/tail. 74' RD350 79' RD400F 02' Aprilia Capo Nord 92' KZ1000 Police cafe "Snoopy"
