And the pan may have a different shape as the B-model frame seems to be flatter than the later K-models.

I have a 1980 Kawasaki KZ750 Ltd. I bought new. I recently managed to get it out of my garage after 28 years and put it on the road again (2010). I feel like a kid all over again. Since I have acquired 3 78 KZ1000 Ltd, 1 1981 KZ1000 Ltd, and another 1980 KZ750 Ltd. Love the LTD's.

The csr seat is approx 30"L x 12.5"W. ... width was measured at about the middle, at the 5th seam where the seat is widest. see pic.
1982 KZ750-H3 Ltd seat. It's identical to the 650-CSR I measured. the H3 seat is on my motorcycle. they're identical.
* - the 1980 750-H1 has an unusual 2-piece seat.

The frame rails on the "J" series bikes (81 on) are wider apart than the earlier 1000 so hinge and catch positions would need some work (duckbill needs to be widened to fit the later frame)Bit of an old thread, but no point in starting a duplicate. I also have a 82 1000 LTD and am looking at seat options. Can anyone else confirm, or provide more details on, if the smaller four LTD seats swap (with some minor tinkering...moving pivot points it sounds like) to the 1000 LTD? Does "fit" mean the lock catch and other bits need to be adapted as well?
