KZ750-4 seat options was created by KurzhaarKid750
Hey guys,
New to motorcycling, KZs and the group.
My question is wether anyone has found any good seat alternatives that don’t require changes to the frame of any kind. I’m looking for plug and play if you will. Mostly I’m interested in gaining some height I’m not supper tall 6’2”ish but I’d like to get my ass up level with or higher than my knees if possible. Also the two level seat seems to push me a hair farther forward than feels comfortable. Maybe it’s just one or the other of these but I was hoping maybe someone else had dealt with this before and could give me their two cents.

I am not aware of a plug and play, though somebody else may be. One solution is to take the front part of the seat to an upholstery shop, preferably one that is familiar with motorcycle seats, and have them add an extra layer of foam. That will likely necessitate new upholstery, too.

No eBay APP ID and/or Cert ID defined in Kunena configurationWhat year and variant of 750 do you have? I would look through the selection of seats from this seller.
Folks here have said the quality is good for the price. If they list your model it should be a direct fit, but the seat pans are copies made by them so it might not be 100%. They make a wide range of seat styles, so if they have a pan for your model you can probably find a style you like.
