Aftermarket, or recovered seat? One of my buddies had one just like it. Here in the Colonies we called it the RZ 350 though.

I loved everything about it , as i said i hurt my back a few years ago and it aggravated it after an hour

Its an after market seat ,it was with the bike when i bought it , I will get it covered back to black eventually , spent about 6 years on and off building it back to a standard

 

[delbert]

Ahh, I missed the back injury part for some reason. Shame

:welcome: to the forum! You're going to have a great time with the FZ1 and that RD is a sharp looking rebuild! Well done!!

Welcome to the forum. In 2006 they called it Shift Red, but as far as I know it is the same red as the 2008 & 2010 models.

Welcome, Nice RD350. I think you will like the FZ1, It is a little better on ergonomics than the average sport bike. I raised my bars 1.75 inches and I love the fit.
