I know they are not in Canada but check out www.classiccyclecity.com. Their site is under construction but shoot them an e-mail. I just received mine the other day. It is absolutely gorgeous and the build quality is top notch.

A few pics from their ebay auction.

thats a nice bike. i was trying to sleep the other night and all i could think of is that i have all the fiberglass stuff....so im just going to make my own seat.the seats iv been looking at at around 150+ shipping. so even if for some reason  i  mess up the first one (which i wont) it still wouldn't cost anywhere near that much.

i dont suppose either of you do a dunstall/ducktail styled seat for the cb750 that uses stock hinges and latch for my k4 750? i have an airtech cr-750 style seat on it now but i really would rather have the other style.

Definitely try to make your own, its a good experience and you will learn from your mistakes. Plus you can get creative with the look and style. nothing better than the look of a custom one off seat that you built with your own hands. plan it and take your time, if all goes well you won't chuck the first one across the garage ;D even if you do, you will be able to afford to make a second one.

I like the painted cowl on the classiccitycycle seat. Does the seat come disassembled so you can handle your own painting? Is it comfortable?

Hello,

we deliver the seat fully assembled.
The seat cover is removeable at the rear in order to make your own paint job.
Yes it is comfortable and easy to do. You have to open two screws at the bottom of the seat
and six pins. Replacement pins are included. A three minutes job.
BTW, the hump has a perfect surface, so you only have to use primer and no filler for the cowl.
And most important, it is a real bolt on seat, installed in minutes and the included adjustable hinges keep your seat
fully functional like a stock seat.

We've had wonderful feedback from all our seat buyers. Some have even been kind enough to send photos of their pride 'n joy with one our seats mounted.

One of the reasons for the improved comfort is that the molded seat foam tapers at the sides instead of being square like the original CB750 foam. That gives your legs a straighter shot to the ground.  Sure helps me with my stubby legs!   ;D   RR
