Topic: Anyone here used these generic seats on a 750 with luck?

I like this design, and the price is nice, too. Anyone here used them?  Looks like they come with brackets you fit on according to what bike you have. I have all of the original brackets from my old plastic seat pan, too if I needed to.

It looks just like motorcycle seats direct minus the big time shipping.

These guys shouldn't be discounted over some slanted ethnocentrism, they do some good work with less than desirable patterns at Times

Not saying I have bought from them but if an 'Asian' supplier  has good products then go for it. mitsuo aka cruzinimage is a supplier of countless good parts

I don't know what to make of that, Brian! Haha

They look good to me. I find it strange it says it fits such a large range of bikes, but maybe because it doesn't hug the frame is what makes that possible.

I've got cruzinimage pistons going into my bike so it obviously doesn't bother me. Lol

after I bought this seat foam

The seat foam was rockard, I put up with it for a year, hard as wood, I was working on another 750/4 which had the repro seat on it and I thought it was really comfortable, it didn't fit the bike very well, you could lift it front and back and it wobbled quite a bit but I figured I could chock it up with rubber bits, well after much ado I had the seat sitting solid on the frame but I had to use so much rubber, I had to bend one of the hinges so it sat straight and the left side now stuck up about 1 1/2" at the front, it was all over the place but it was supported now. Comfy as it was I couldn't cope with the look and took it off. I took my real seat to a motor trimmer who cut 2" off the top of the rockard foam and built it back up with softer stuff, cost me $130 and the seat is good now.
The repro has plastic base so if it is allowed to flap around all over the place I can't see it lasting long esp if you have a pillion often. You can recognize these rubbish seats by looking at the underside, they use a couple of rubber feet instead of the proper rubbers. I notice also that DSS sells the same seat, don't buy it and definitely don't buy one of those rockard seat foams.
