    Is that gonna be the wifey's new ride?
    Do not put off living the life you dream of. Next year may never come. If we are always waiting for something to change...
    Retirement, the kids to leave home, the weather or the economy, that's not living. That's waiting!
    Waiting will only leaves us with unrealized dreams and empty wishes.

    It's a Yama-Dog and a Cafe?........of course I'd be willing.

    You should get a bump-stop seat for it though. Really go all out Cafe.

    Sweet bike.

    I agree on the bump seat. It would complete the look.

    Umm, well....ok, I was kinda bad and got the ok to go "check it out" with that possibility but seeing as how she can't kickstart it and I've wanted one of these since HS...the answer to your question would be, umm, nope.

    Actually, we also went and checked out a MZ125 which she rode (Woot Baby!) but the seller wanted too much for an odd ball Euro bike with zilch for parts supply (kind of a bummer cuz it was a clean lil bike). I'm working on getting her a Bandit 400 from Mikey.

    So Jeff, how much for a bum-stop seat?

    Generic pans can be found on ebay for around $100, maybe a little less.
    http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/_Moto...=p4506.c0.m245
    Upholstering one of those is easy and shouldn't cost much more than $20 in material.

    I want to keep the original tail piece so I was thinking of adding foam to build the bum-stop. Probably just go with a straight recover, can you do those?
