Before I go hacking stuff apart, has anyone tried this before? There's a slick cafe seat on eBay that's made for a custom, and I really like the look.... but I have a Deluxe.

Are you planning on altering the frame? If so it won't matter. 1979 CX500 Supertanker ATGATT makes riding a bike like a sled easier. Quick Reference    Report

I also saw some replica and custom seat made in Viet Nam very nicely done. I too have a Deluxe so my question it the same. The seat was $119.00 Cheers, 50gary    Report

I also asked him if they would fit the Deluxe, he replied to send a picture of the CX500 Deluxe seat pan (underside) I didn't do that yet. My thought is, I don't care for the basic shape of the Deluxe seat. The way it drops on the sides following the frame contour. Cheers, 50gary    Report
