I really like the look of this bike and would like to put a seat like this on mine, can anyone tell me what this seat is and where a guy (me) might be able to get one?

I've been wondering that myself. It looks like the one on one of the bikes pictured at the top of the web page.

Could be a corbin, I know that if you send them a seat pan they'll make you one up custom for around 300 bucks

Looks like an old BSA seat. They were famous for the kicked up tail section.

MikesXS's new cafe seat looks real close to that seat in the photo. Might be close enough?
Best,

I just fiited the Mikes seat to a C Model
After some adjustment & having to remove the storage compartment lid in rear of the seat, It fitted looks good.
Had to remove the little door to the storage compartment becourse it would hit on the back frame rail over the back guard & not close properly
Anyone else had this problem?
