What kind of seat and for what bike?

    Got this large seat when I bought my bike and it's not really what I'm going for. Anyone know which bikes it fits? The top is in great condition, and only a few marks on the front. Can't tell if the front bar is broken off, or what.

    And, second question, anyone want it?

    I not sure, ...

    It has the look of some I've seen on XS-Special Editions -or- Maxim-X.

    (Maybe)

    The attachment system looks Kawasaki-like

    The latch resembles the one on the 650 Seca, but it's obviously not for that bike.

    Could very well be for the Excess Eleven, the 750/850 Triples or ???

    Doesn't look too awfully compatible with the XJ series, I gotta agree there.

    Any markings anywhere else on it?

    HEY LEN!! There's the sticker I sent you, too! That's the second one I've seen.......

    That Latch looks like it's for the XS series (possibly the XV series instead, but I'd have to check a couple of mine to verify.) I've had several of these in the attic, with several different types of latch stuff.

    That's the nicest looking one I've seen!

    Timotheos, I'm interested in it, I'll send a pm to you....

    Hmmm it seems that myopia and cell phone screens are not a good combination.

    Too bad I don't have my '83 XS650 Special on hand, I'm curious how similar the latch could be.
