Hi Guys,
I am currently in the process of stripping down my K75 to a scrambler/cafe racer.
But i am stuck on what my seat options could be.
Does any one know what seats will fit my bike and how i would go about doing it preferably with out having to chop the frame or with limited frame modifications.
Cheers

Go check out the stock seats for V7 Moto Guzzis, with a tape measure. Guzzi sells them as an aftermarket part.

If you are after a flat Bratty-café style seat, don't bother. Flat thin seats kill your butt stone cold dead in about twenty minutes.

Fitting a seat is not rocket science, even if you have to resort to sitting it on strips of rubber, and holding it on with multiple zipties.

The K75 sub frame seat loop looks pretty long. You may have to hacksaw off the loop and plug the holes with plastic furniture plugs. Whatever you do don't throw the cut loop away, someone might like to weld it back on some day.

Even if you make a seat yourself; after foam, ally and getting a cover stitched up you would not get out of it under 200 bucks. So factor that into the price of a new one.

Jap after-market seats often have very soft foam for home-market models, for smaller and lighter riders. Brands like Nitroheads seats always look too small for Euro sized butts.

Danger, is my business.

Thanks Witworth.
I will do a measure of the frame and see if it is close to the Moto Guzzis size.
Otherwise it sounds like i can get away with a DIY attempt at the seat........fingers crossed.

Don't waste your time, take your seat pan and send it to sargents in fla. They will reshape it and recover it an you won't have to touch a thing:

The guys in Australia G_T.

Shipping a seat from the other side of the world and back would have to be $USD250.oo minimum.

Café seats are a pain in the ass.

Oh, didn't see that. Still, maybe hillsy can tell him where to go.
