But I could prob modify mine and add a pillion seat hump to give that racing seat look! looks similar in a lot of ways.................

I could ask Tommy who owns that bike if he got a source...

Yeah, I agree with the other guys, that style of seat looks great. I had a Harris seat on my old steel framed Spondon that looked a bit like that - not exactly the same but that sort of style. Don't know if they still do seats? Might be worth a look

Update.............I havnt forgotten about this bike ive been busy collecting bits and pieces. (very expensive hobby)

Ive scrapped the Honda fairing and seat idea! ................I was waking up ,sweating in the middle of the night with really bad dreams, in fact nitemares, and then when I purchased the Slabby race seat from Grumpy and the Moto martin fairing, the bad dreams have suddenly stopped. ;-)

Update : Its going to be a Spar racer lookalike !

Bandit B12 forks, and RF900 yokes and bars purchased. (ebay)

GS1000/750 Spoked wheels with Big Fat Akront rims purchased. (cheers Fluff!)

GSXR750 sligshot swinging arm which will be modded to fit the Martin frame with cantilever suspension mounts welded on the back.

Moto Martin Twin headlight Fairing and screen purchased ( Hugh Williams )

GSXR / harris style Race seat ( Mr Grumpy)

GSXR slabby clocks , foam rim type ( Mr Grumpy)

Frame is a bit too scabby and getting it re-plated is going to be to expensive, so its getting powder coated in Electric blue!

Tank and Bodywork White with light and dark blue stripes or blocks.......................not decided this yet!

Going to move all visible electrics to under the seat hump !

Just need to make some room in the man shed or Kitchen..................

Sounds like a great plan Bobster, going the right way with that I think, Honda ewww, unless of course your talking about C90's they rock as do CBX1000s. C50's are legend as you well know.

Wash your mouth out John.............this is a Suzuki only area...............shame on you! ;-)

Suzuki M30 are much nicer............
