- December 10, 2016, 18:34:43 PMPicked up a tank bib and a 24 inch rear fender bib from PHcustoms.com for a total of $96 with free shipping. Also got a buddy seat rail for my springer seat at JP Cycle for $83 brand new. Mounted it to the seat with 4 exploding-type wide flange rivets and viola! the last picture is before the rail and bibs....makes a big difference in appearance....and sorry for the messy garage background....I am moving out my Paramount Universal gym in my 3rd garage bay this winter to make room for my bike and shop tools.....

- December 10, 2016, 12:36:39 PMWhat I done was bolted the seat to a steel plate , then used the 2 holes in the cross bar that is under the seat, and bolted it to the plate, with a bar under the cross bar as well, and yes I did cut the long bolts down.

You're correct, they are getting harder to find and don't come up very often. Especially for the '99 & '00 1500.or-seedman, I have a studded tank bib made for the 800 classic and studded rear fender bib made for the Nomad. They fit and match perfectly and IMO look great. Both are made by Kawasaki parts/ Fire and Steel. They are getting harder to find but worth the effort for factory accessory quality for your scoot.

I just sent the last of the tank bibs I had to the UK for a rider over there.
The bib looks great on the tank, with the springer seat that I fitted as well

- December 01, 2016, 13:27:46 PMsince I will be going down to Northern CA on a business trip very soon, I will swing by Chilhowee and check their stuff out.....there is a non-leather one on ebay, but doesn't really look that good....
I have a 2-up Fire and Steel seat on my 800 right now, but have been unable to find the matching tank fender bibs.....

+1 I bought lots of leather stuff from them and nothing but high quality. You can customize with reasonable costs.
