Everyone...

Okay, I don't want this to be a self-serving "shameless plug" but it's time to clarify...

Since the beginning, Nippon and I have been biz-partners in Classic Cycle City. He's in Southern Germany; I'm in Southern California.

We have been hand-making factory type Giuliari-style seats for the 1972-76 CB750K for over a year and have shipped them all over the world. Everyone seems to be very impressed with the quality. We try to build each seat as nearly perfectly as humanly possible. From a materials and construction quality standpoint, our seats are an evolutionary upgrade from the original. The components are so accurately made that we offer seat covers and foams as perfectly fitting replacement parts for aging original Giuliari seats.

The first pull of the new 1972-76 CB500/550K has just been done. It is similar in style to the CB750K seat, but requires an entirely different mold and modified seat foam design along with new hinging. Not and easy or quick process, but the seats will be available almost immediately.

Similar seats for the K0-K1 and K7-K8 CB750 are currently under development, but everything takes time and resources.

We have had a LOT of inquiries on the CB500/550 seat, and those individuals who have contacted us and have waited patiently will be provided seats first. If anyone else wishes to get on the list, please let us know and we'll do our best to build your seat as quickly as possible. If you've contacted us in the past, you might want to drop us a quick email at info@classiccyclecity.com reaffirming your interest.

CCC is our baby. Nippon and I are committed to making the kind of well-designed, high quality retro products that we'd want for ourselves. But the company is also yours. Let's not inundate the board with product discussions; if there's something you'd like us to consider manufacturing, please contact us off-line. Sorry for the longish post, but I wanted to address any questions about these seats.

Like everyone else here, we build and love these bikes, and we want to contribute to their preservation and development.

Thanks!  :)  Ted

I've been drolling over your Giuliari-style seats since I got my bike and came across your ebay page. Those are so sexy. I wish I had that $$$$
