I'm looking for one myself. They used to have them at Apex Cycle, but they are sold out. There's one on ebay, but it looks a little small. If I find one, I'll let you know!

I'm thinking maybe one of these and get it re-covered in the colors I choose. Probably wouldn't have the Honda name on the back, but it still would look ok I think. 13" wide so it's not as small as some being sold on ebay.

As mentioned Apex is sold out. Has anyone purchased from Apex recently? I've sent them a question about another part but they don't respond.

I like that seat. My problem is trying to retro fit it (I'm not a welder!) Did you see the seat KellieLyyne is using on her restoration? (Under topic My Restoration). Hers came out really nice.

Thanks Kigsby!!! I bought that same seat (the one with the Honda logo) the only thing that bugs me is the Logo is not exactly center. I bought mine from Apex, but have not seen them sold since I picked mine up a year ago. That black seat is very nice though. I saw one like it on this website too, but for a little cheaper than the one that was posted earlier. Check it out!

And yes Kigsby, it definitely helps having a welder in the family. Actually Im fortunate enough to have two welders (my hubby and my 17 yr old son). maybe I could talk my hubby into making one for you too. lol. Hmmm there might be a market for this..... lol.

Hey Kigsby, after looking at that other seat that was posted by ed1965Dream, I noticed if you scroll down that it gives you basically everything you need to put that seat on your Dream. Not a bad deal if you need to have all that hardware. (shrug)
