V7 Racer/Cafe Seat Pan Width

(1/2) > >>

Dirk_S:
Are V7 Racer/Cafe style seat pans any skinnier toward the rear compared to the standard bench-style seat pans? Only asking about saddles for the V7 up to 2021, so this doesn’t include the newer saddles on the E5 850cc models.

I’m considering getting a V7 cafe/racer saddle, but if the seat pan is the same width, I may instead choose to just buy the cheapest V7 saddle I can find and make my own cafe seat. I’ve seen a couple pictures of the factory racer/cafe seat pans, and I can see the pans are slightly different, I just can’t tell about the width.

Error:




Seats are from a v7iii Aniversario and I believe the V7 cafe classic. I think that was also sold as the “solo” seat for the V7i and V7ii

If you need other measurements just let me know.

Thanks, Error! I see very minor differences in the mold around the rubber pucks, but otherwise, they look to be pretty much the same seat pans? Does that reflect what your eyes tell you?

Yes. Pans are all the same V7-V7iii as far as I know.

They are sculpted different, for clearance on the various types of rear mudguard and fuses, so that is what you're probably noticing. Without measuring, my "seat of the pants" ass-essment is that they are the same width - I'd prefer narrower. (At the moment I have 4, yes four, alternative seats for my V7III !!! )
My mods on a V7 Classic for a V7III, showing where I Dremelled some of the pan..
