Cafe bike. Flat-Brat seat. Best options>

[Garrett411]

Hey ya'll.

First time owner of a '79 xs. Looking to cafe the bike out but love the look of a cafe bike with a flat brat style seat. What are my best options? Not looking to intensely modify the frame but am not afraid of a little DIY.

p.s. the picture is kind of what i am looking for. I do not own the picture, just using it as an example.


Thanks!

I highly recommend the seats from counter balance cycles. Wes makes an excellent product. You will need to weld on a couple of brackets on the loop to mount it. You will also need to modify the rear fender as the curve under the seat will interfere. You can find him in the shops section of the forum along with several pictures of the seats he offers.
