This makes me recall that I will be addressing my seat at some point. I have the factory stepped seat from '79. It's completely tatty, but that's fine: I never intended it to be used in its current iteration.

I was planning on cutting the seat pan and re-forming/re-foaming the seat, since I'm cutting the back of the frame down.

Before I do that, though, is there such a thing as a two-piece seat for these bikes? Would I be destroying something valuable to someone else by cutting down my seat and pan?

Cut to approximate, smash to fit!

So much money, and neither one runs. Oh well, the guys at the local shop are jealous. More questions and requests, coming soon. Big thanks, MZ

I have been trying to get one for about 10 years now without any success. I am getting seriously jealous now.

Come on. Need to see photo's of the RE5. One bike that would like to own b4 I kick the bucket. Missed out on one 15 years ago on ebay. A minter sold for £2505. Missed it by £5.00. Still kicking myself to this day :woohoo:
