77 KZ900 Seat Replacement

No eBay APP ID and/or Cert ID defined in Kunena configurationAnyone have any experience with this Ebay seller making cafe looking seats?



The auctions says they ship from Vietnam. They have a bunch of different styles, and it looks like they are making their own (somewhat crude looking) metal seat pans.

I'm tempted to try one. Some of them look pretty cool.

So the A5 was green or brown like the 76 900?

I ordered one of their seats last week after reading a number of good reviews. They have quite a selection on their website. texavina.com

Chuck if you could post pics/review after you get your seat, appreciate it. Hope you like it.

I like this seat, best looking, cut down hot rod, drag bike looking! A couple of Guys here have them. But it is hard as a rock you Guys say.
But for looks I think I am going to buy one. Z1enterprises sells them.
I had one reupholstered 10 yrs ago. never used it yet. :laugh: :laugh:

Even though I have never liked the looks of a saddle seat on a sport bike, my ass has convinced me to try function over form.
I've been watching this seat all winter on craigslist and when it finally dropped from 200 down to 100 bucks I said what the hell.
It dosn't look too bad with the bag on it and it is much more comfy then the 40 year old LTD seat I had on there.

Yeah the Z1E seat is hard on the butt after 100 miles. It's great for short runs and keeps me planted as I grab a hand full. I got a LTD style seat for the cover and it was much better on long rides. I'm keeping the Z1E seat as a spare to use until I get a new LTD style seat cover when this one starts coming apart. Until then I'm going to "RIDE THE PISS OUT OF IT" :woohoo:

Showed up a couple days ago and looks great. The stock hardware just bolted onto it, couldn't be much easier
