Advice on replacing seat on a r75/5 lwb

Hi Gang

During the off season I like to upgrade a thing or two on my airheads. So any advice on where I can find an original good used seat at a good price that has the metal R75/5 plaque/ badge on the back?

Spent a few hours yesterday talking to venders and could not find new or used with the badge, plenty of plain ones without it.

Let me know if you have a good used seat that will fit a 1973 1/2 LWB.

Thanks
Brian

I put a Russell Day long on my r75/5 and R100RT and absolutely loved them
They are custom made for you
You send them photos of you on the bike standing and sitting along with your weight and inseam
Perfect sitting position
Not cheap, but I would ride for 8 hrs a day and no seat issues

Perhaps a "Wanted" ad in the Marketplace or over on ADV's Airhead's forum might help you find one?

Good luck.
