    hi all.
    can anyone lead me to the picture ,or post of the cafe racer seat that was posted a week or so ago.
    the one that had an upholstered zipped pocket at the rear, next to the hump,
    i've searched but can't find it .
    i want to print it off before it gets lost, to show the upholsterers what i want,
    thanks for any links or pictures

    Do a Google Image search for "'74 Ducati 900SS."

    Damn, i just looked for like an hour for that thread, as i was sure i commented on it complimenting the seat. strange.

    but yeah, if you google what fitz said, that will show you similar.

    i tried, it searched for ages, if i type in anything with zip pocket, it brings me back to my own post.
    there are similar ones on fitz's sugestion , but none with the clear photo like the one last week.
    someone linked to it, so see if this bump brings any answers
    cheers

    I know it was "that stupid Honda." But the guy said he totally copied a '70s Ducati SS seat, and he didn't lie. I couldn't find it either, which is why I suggested looking for pics of the Duc.

    Almost makes me wanna sell everything but the Nort and go looking for one, if it weren't for the bloody horror of adjusting a desmodromic valve train.

    Back in the day, it was one of the few bikes on the road that could hand the Norton its ...well, never mind. Damn fast bike and superb handling. If only I were a machinist.

    I think the one he's looking for was on an xj, I remember the post but can't find it for the life of me.

    It was a member posting about his new seat.
