I am pretty sure it was for an early 80's cb900.(Rickman CR900)the fairing was called a Centura.I tried to find some info on it but couldnt.

Two things:
1. I love that tail light.
2. I love that seat.

You gotta post more pictures of that seat with a description of how you made it.  Looks really nice.

thanks,So I made a skeleton frame of alum. then laid fibreglass and resin.skipped the mold part and just went for it.turned out pretty good,just dont turn it over,but who cares no one will see it.I forget where I got the taillight,cycle x maybe or the rice paddy.I used two layers of different foam so its pretty comfy too.
