Title: Race Seat
Post by: jackshan101 on June 14, 2011, 03:45:05 AM

Any one know where a fella could pick up a cafe racer style seat for the R65, it's not a problem for the larger R bikes but the short wheel base is not being catered for.

You could try Corbin.

Thanks for the Info.
I was onto flatracer.com and they sent me two photos of a prototype seat in progress and that will fit the R65. They hope to have it ready for sale in a few months they said. Thay also asked for feedback.

Have you seen these: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/BMW-Air-Head-R45-R65-Corbin-style-cafe-racer-seat-unit-/400210291302?pt=Motorcycles_Parts_Accessories&hash=item5d2e646a66#ht_1118wt_905


I did have a link to their actual site but can't seem to find it now. I'll be interested to hear what they're like. I'm thinking of getting one myself.

Corbin copies made in Vietnam by a US company. Anyone heard of them?

Looks quite interesting, though a bit difficult to visualize the final result, I think this one also looks nice
