what is this Seat off

#1 PostAuthor: Swirl » Tue May 30, 2017 10:51 pm

It come to me on a 1981 z750e, the tail end had been chopped off and it didn't really sit properly. It is marked up underneath 750/1000 in a bit of old scrapyard type of way, anyoe shed any light as to the maker or origin. Thanks Swirl.

To be honest, as that's an aftermarket seat, it will be almost impossible to say wht it origionally was meant for.

Any chance of a picture of he underside. The position of the fittings may give a clue.

Perhaps the decal and Caution Sticker, under seat will give a clue?

well, I've zoomed in on them and can't see anything that gives me a clue.

I guess we'll have to wait for the sticker geeks to have a look and tell us what's what.
