It looks like a regular Standard seat pan but the seat foam and cover look much more low profile and cafe. Is this factory or a custom job?

Bike looks to to be non U.S. just from the engine cover styles. Seat topside styles may have been different also.81H Venturer1100 "The Bentley" (on steroids) 97 Yamaha YZ250(age reducer) 92 Honda ST1100 "Twisty"(touring rocket) Age is relative to the number of seconds counted 'airing' out an 85ft. table-top. -
Just looks like a standard seat that has had the foam shaved way down. Some do that just to lower the height some for short people.Nathan

Yep, non-US, badges are painted on, not raised emblems. As for the seat, there was just one on Ebay that was similar.Originally posted by motoman View Post2H7 (79) owned since '89

Another pic...
I can't find a seat cover that will fit that shape of foam. I need something thinner for my bike and the standard seat I have is too beefy.
Here's something like it...
It's way too expensive, especially because it will probably need some modification to mate with my Special tank.Comment

The bike in the pic is definitely a euro model as has been stated, maybe they have different seats, who knows. Your best bet would be is to take the seat to a shop that does seats (boat shops usually do this stuff) and bring the pic of that seat and see what they can do. I bet the stock seat cover would work just fine too.Nathan

Better late than never...
As the image says - its from Italy most likely.
It is a 79 Euro standard, drilled rotors, aftermarket fugly horns and turn signals, mirrors are from louis.de, so are a bunch of other parts (footpeg, engine guards, etc).
Seat is stock, but with cut foam. Looks like home made or a cheap shop did it.
A guy I bought my 1.1 standard from, has one just like in the pic - in his dining room (alltho a bit more original).
If it doesn't have an engine, it's not a sport, it's only a game.
