Which seat fits my bike?

[CBPayne]

Here is my bike, now rember that I have the rear of the tank up higher so the top of the tank is about parallel with the ground.


Now here are the seats on the second post. Im sort of bias here because I want longer sides, so which one fits my bike better or should I go another route?

I like the first one. Do you actually have them to test fit?

Why not make your own? DCC has a video guide if you want to go that route.

The first one is my choice too. I've tried doing fiberglass seats. Im alright at making the molds even though I can never find spray adhesive that actually works. The green block alway fall apart when I start carving, plus I get all the green crap stuck over my hands and arms. I just suck at fiberglass. The kind I bought was from walmart which Im sure is find for the job but the directions suck. I got tired of wasting my money, so Im going to just buy a seat.

Doubt if you are going to find an off the shelf seat LISTED that fits your customized Virago, but Airtech does a good job of showing key dimensions on their seats when you click on the "More photos" link for the style you like. Then you can measure to your frame to compare.

That black seat is a glass from the past seat for a Royal Enfield...one of the very few made to fit the very hard-to-fit Bullet frames. Not that it matters for your use, but it's funny you'd choose something so purpose-built for another bike. The little side panels might look odd on anything but an Enfield, though--they are designed to cover a space left vacant when the stock seat is removed.

I am getting really curious to see the bike when it's finished.... Never seen a virag cafe ... Maybe I need to get out more. Very cool. I tried to cafe a Cm400 one time just because the bike was pretty much given t mme . It was fun but definitely felt like I was swimming upstream with the frame. I ended up chopping off the whole rear section and rebuilding it. Your bike is already looking much better

Yea I know that, the side skirts is ther main reason I wanted that seat, but its way to long. So to make it fit I would end up cut off the side skirts. I think instead I will make my sides out of aluminum and buy a flat seat.

Thank you guys for your info, I like airtek but one of my picks has a too narrow front end. I can't decide if I should get a round hump or a short square. Do you guys have a bias towards ABS seats or FG seats? What are the perks and the negatives of either for yall?

Here's another one I like that is round and square oooooh! Its a little too long(thats what she said), wonder if it would be worth buying and cutting off a few inches? like 5"
