Anyone ever stumbled across this picture before? I hadn't, and I really like that seat and tail unit. Anyone have a clue where it comes from?

I was going to say the Chic Sport trunk, but upon closer inspection it's something else. Very nice, though.

It's rounder than the Chic trunk, which has a slight angle at the end.

As you say, it is definitely not the Chic. This one is much more rounded, and very reminiscent of the tailpiece on a Triumph Thruxton. Cool little built in taillight, as well.Rebel73_imp said:

Did you see this post from Timpo ? CB1100 mods

Yep. Numerous nice bikes, but none with that tail piece. I think this one is the best shape I have seen on the CB1100.Chapomis_imp said:

Very cool, but more than likely a product of Photoshop rather than actual parts

Probably. I think we would've heard of this seat otherwise.grover_imp said:

But for the built-in tail light, it looks an awful lot like the Triumph Thruxton seat.

I think it is photoshop but it's still really beautiful.

I don't think it would be TOO hard to DIY (in my head)...strip the stock seat pan, cover the tank in Saran Wrap, use the rearward ~foot of the tank as a mold to create the hump shape out of fiberglass, enclose the hump, cover the remainder of the seat area in flat fiberglass, sand, paint, get an upholsterer to fab up a leather seat, drill a 2" hole in the back and wire in a generic tail light. That's ALL.
