Re: Race Tail Install
Whose tail is that? An Airtech unit? I had something similar years ago - it pretty much needed custom uprights to the seat bolts above exhaust hanging bolts and drilled cross bar.

Re: Race Tail Install
No it's not an airtech unit. All it says is Made in Japan on the inside. I saw a couple on bikes at Barber a couple years ago, but didn't pay much attention on how they mounted them. Doesn't seem to big of a deal as the back will mount right to the sub frame and the seat I can get some rubber bushings for that and I can machine some nice brackets for behind the seat area. Just wanted to see what others have done with this unit. Mostly need seat options. L8R Mark

Re: Race Tail Install
It may be made by Kitaco. I looked at their site but it appears that, if it is the same company, they don't make RZ stuff anymore. It was probably 1985 when I mounted mine, so I guess I don't remember how I mounted it. I can take a look though.
The seat I have came with the glass. It is an L shape and the seat and back are a one piece base. There is a hook or tab that captures the top of the storage hole, connected to the base at the top of the L. A single piece of Velcro aligns with the piece in your photos, to hold it from slipping in the front.
