Title: Help me ID a V7 seat please
Post by: Zimmermichaels1ea on November 18, 2025, 05:17:55 PM
I attended the Minnesota Guzzi rally in Grand Marais this summer and saw a gentleman's V7 Stone with a very nice custom seat. I spoke to the owner there and he told me the maker  which I wrote down on the back of a receipt...and then lost!

Can anyone identify this seat?  I'm interested in obtaining one for my V7 Special.

Also, I'm interested in the same Hepco and Becker Junior bags, are these in the picture the 40L size?

Thanks for helping me out in advance!

They are! If it was made for you or someone with very similar sizes and weight. I've use 5 different ones for different bikes.

Yup.... Ugly, but fantastic for LD duty

I'm going to send one of my seat pans for the Norge to have them do a seat

I concur, RDL.   Buddy had one made for his v7, looks just like the pic, he says it's fantastic.  I have sat on it, and it did indeed feel like it would be the cats PJs for long hauls.
They have been doing it for decades.  My dad got one for his 78 BMW for our father son tour to the great out west in 1980, I was 12-13.  We had a fantastic time from IL to ID, CA UT, and back.   The seat was great!
