Does anyone recognise this seat? Thanks, Tony.
I have a 1980 Kawasaki KZ750 Ltd. I bought new. I recently managed to get it out of my garage after 28 years and put it on the road again (2010). I feel like a kid all over again. Since I have acquired 3 78 KZ1000 Ltd, 1 1981 KZ1000 Ltd, and another 1980 KZ750 Ltd. Love the LTD's.

The m/c seat looks like a stock-style seat that has had the cover pulled back and someone cut some of the foam off to create a step. Have done this very thing to a few seats for a dragbike. Some guys will recover seat with a new cover but most just re-installed the stock cover and it ends up looking exactly like your seat.

Looks like it could be a Z1 seat pan.

The single threaded hole could be for the Z1 seat's pointed post that fits into the Z1 seat lock.



Good Fortune! :)

Thanks for info, I will hold on to it, but if there is someone in need of it, let me know. as it is of no use to me as I need an Ltd seat for a 78 KZ1000.
