KZ650 seat cover

No eBay APP ID and/or Cert ID defined in Kunena configurationMy bikes coming along well after my accident a couple years ago. The main eye sore is the seat. I've been watching ebay but all seats go for $100-$150 which is a little out of my price range. But I found this, anybody know about this seller or company?

Have you tried Travelcade, Saddlemen or B&H Specialties?
Their pricing is typically in the $65 range (+ shipping).

I noticed that Z1E carries Travelcade, but don't know how it compares with the competition.

Good Fortune! :)

They seem to sell the heck out of seat covers and the vast majority seem pleased (one fellow posted three negatives, each in a different language and all apparently related to shipping issues, not craftsmanship). Price is good. However, what might be of concern is that (if I'm not mistaken) is that not all KZ650 seats were the same...is your F model equivalent in seat shape to other models? He only apparently offers one style.

The B,C and F use the same seat, with some styling changes the only difference. I got some seat covers from Dave over at Z-power in England a few years ago and these look the same, but seen one cover you've seen them all in pictures I suppose. If it's the one sold by Z-power it's a good cover, doesn't fit 100% perfect, but close and has held up well.
321,000 miles on KZ's that I can remember. Not going to see any more.

Thanks guys. I like the way the ebay one looks. I want pretty much a OEM look and it is nice. When I get it I have a write up from here that I will be following to install it. Just hope my seat foam is still good after 30 years. I'll let you know.... :)

Here's a seat recover topic w photos & links. Seat cover stuff . One of the links is a recover topic of a seat that's similar to yours.

Also, in reply #7 grumpy posted a photo of his 82 KZ1000-J2... it's a nice bike.
