help with seat options for my kz750?

[modifiedamerican]

i have a stock kz750 but i plan on turning into a cafe style bike this winter. i plan on doing something with the seat this winter also. just not sure what. i want it long enough that i can ride my wife if i need to but still look stylish. if i buy a fiberglass seat the part that u would sit on needs to be around 28". which i havent been able to find anything seats with that amount of room. so im thinking maybe turning my stock seat into the shape that i want. i dont want to do any fiberglassing though. just need some idea or any help would be appreciated! thanks everyone.

The thread below has some helpful info, http://www.dotheton.com/forum/index.php?topic=23582.10


Though if you were looking for something really simple, I like the look of the stock rear fender on the KZ750 so you could just remove the old foam and vinyl seat covering. Then add on a thinner but denser pad to save your and your wife's hinys then get it re-upholstered. That would give you a cross between the stock and mild cafe look relatively easily and cheaply. Just a thought anyway. If you wanted a little bit more of a custom look you could cut the pan slightly, maybe take out like 2" which will give it a shorter more cafe-esque look.

There is a thread in the "tanks and seats" subforum as there is a thread about this specific seller and peoples experiences.
