Hi guys,
Anyone know of a U.S. based outfit that fabricates or sells cafe racer seats for BMW airheads?
I have a 1974 R90/6.
Thanks,
Carey
Cafe Seat for BMW Airhead

Call me Mel. Some years ago- never mind how long precisely- having little or no money in my purse, and nothing particular to interest me at home, I thought I would ride about a little and see the other parts of the world.

Try seaching Ebay for "BMW R90 cafe seat"
some are generic.
At least one I saw has BMW mounting brackets, although they are the welded on type.
I think the R90 bikes have seat pins facing the same direction, so the welded seat should be ok. Double check your bike.

Mel and Seth, thank you much for the input!
I'm hoping to find something with a cowl on the back that I could paint. I'm finding out very quickly how expensive it is to do modifications! =(

Not U.S. based, may not work on a earlier model.

You WILL pay big for it...
