    Its a '73 Z1 seat, the first "superbike", that this bike is based on.
    Man, that fat boy seat was comfortable. Though, whats the saying; "comfort is the enemy of progress".

              I'm going to pick up a Z1 rear fender for it as well.

              Something like:

                Bob the rear fender some more (just about the currently tail light mount, add the trusty limp dick tail light and plate mount into the remaining fender and call it good......

                Nice work sir.

                  The rear is bobbed up to the current taillight mount.

                      Damn, that seat coupled with that rear tail really looks nice.

                      Nice job, I'd still replace that front tire, it just screams REPLACE ME! And that chain needs to go too...

                        Yep, seat and tail are both 1973 Z1 parts.



                        I've got two new tires to go on it. The chain is actually a 630, it is old but no rough links and it would take a bulldozer to damage it.
                        It'll eventually get replaced with new sprockets and a 530.
