    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

So I found this great custom done Suzuki 450 that was featured on returnofthecaferacers.com and I was wondering if anyone could help me find out where I can get the seat or a similar seat used on the bike?

Also, if anyone knows the kind of fork used and front fender on this bike:

I really liked this build and I'm basing my bike off the clean and classic look of it. I'm new so these parts aren't too aparent to me yet.
 
That is a nicely done cafe mod, I have to say. I do like the white bodywork and black engine/wheels. Many (most?) cafe mods have custom seats, that's probably the case here as well. Seats aren't usually horrifically expensive to have made and aren't too hard to do yourself in many cases. I'm sure someone else will chime in with links to vendors that sell and/or make cafe-style seats.
 
That's one of the better ones, but after being on Do The Ton for a while they all start to look the same to me...

Dime City Cycles is probably your best bet for a seat, otherwise I'd be checking Do the Ton forum for tips on cafe seats... that's the home of cafe's these days...

The front guard is a cut down stock 450E/S guard, and the forks are stock forks with polished lowers and gaiters added.

They even kept the stock tank and side covers and everything else is basically cosmetic work... paint or polish.

And she should wake up to herself... stone washed jeans didn't even look good when they were new in the '80's!!!!!
