Here is the Z1 parts seat beside my original. The main difference I see is the round nose on the reproduction seat compared to the more square nose on the original. The other difference I see is the shape of the tail. The Z1 seat has more squared corners than the rounded corners on the original, it makes the back of the Z1 seat look a little wider. The seat pan and hardware are very nice and overall the Z1 seat is a very nicely done and really nice looking seat, not to mention it's the only option some of us have. I will have no problem putting it on my other Mach III.

The new one on the bike.

Thank you. Nice pictures. What is your opinion of the stainless trim? Do you see any differences?

I think the trim is very close to the original.

You can spot that imposter a mile away.

agreed...but do we have a better choice
A repo is still better than an old ripped mangy seat

did you send the pics to z1 ent yet to show the difference in seats ? they may want to correct the faults for a better product

The front of the seat does look a little funky . Wonder if it is the foam, the cover, or the pan. Maybe it would look better with their pan and RB's foam?

Appears the old rule of price/quality/service (pick two) still applies . But not a bad looking seat for the price.

Just took a look at one of my seats with original pan, RB foam, and Mid Atlantic cover. Front of this seat is a little pointed also. Must be the cover...

Contact Z1 parts, GUTS. They want to change the tooling. Check your pm.

Hard to believe, just a few years ago, guys were clamoring for "anything" useable for a 69 seat. Now all I read is complaints. No one appreciates anything anymore........
