750SF Seats!

[OTR002]

My 1970 SF has the two up touring seat fitted, now the power is overwhelming and throwing me from the back of the seat!

What was available in a single seat from new and what will fit without any great modifications?

Cheers
Rod

This single was standard and should fit yours unless the 1970 frame dimensions are different

The original single seat before 72 was all leather with
an old lettering.

Ernesto, thanks for that, now on the hunt for a seat.

I used this photo in a wanted add, I hope you don't mind.

Thanks Teddy, I do like this style of seat with the locked storage but I'd like to try to keep my bike sort of original. But that may change!!

When I bought my 70 Breganzie SF it came with 2 seats a Double and had to spend a little more for the auxilry Single Letter Box Saddle.

Gave away my Double Seat as I could not be responsible for the life of my Passenger and nothing as assuring as the Single Seat Letter Box for being on my own ASS.

I can NOT believe that our Forum Members do NOT SEE the concept of this Brganzie Carrier. Really 2 LBS and carries 200 Lbs.

Apparently the Yamaha Endure Turn Dirt Flashers work just fine.

Really this Breganzie 750 is FAST ;o)

Rod,

the earlier seats with the storage in the back (bread box seats here is AUS) are slightly different to the later seats as used on the SF2's and some 73 SF1's. The dimensions are different and the shape of the container is slightly different. The chrome trim around the rear section/upholstery interface is in front of the rear shock top mounting bolt, not behind as on later seats.

From experience, you also need to be wary that some reproductions seats for the first model SF's (as per Ernesto's photo) do not line up properly with the mounting tabs on the frame.
