Not straight swop but anything can be made to fit anything with ingenuity and determination.

If you look at both mine and Davido's builds the answer is yes but it needs to be "widened" if you go this route you will also need to modify a seat as there isn't anything "off the shelf" that will fit.
EDIT: missed the 750 part - who knows ??

Thanks all! Just something I'm lookin at, the price was right, we'll see what we got. A guy could probably use styrofoam to mold one, then fiberglass, eh?

Well I just had a 1980 KZ1000 ducktail painted and detailed to match my 82 1100 specter I had to cut out a little bit and fill in where the old seat went and ended then I wrapped the cup part with door edging and I velcroed the back tail to the light and heavy duty zip tied it and I'm going to attach a picture
I think it looks great and this was just now finished on August 15th 2025
