fawzi963 Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 The other day I was looking through some photos of old DT's and came across thing beauty, which looks like a DT but the front end quite confuses me in terms of model, anyway back to the point. There is this thing behind the seat that looks like a "seat extender" which in my view looks really good. Does anyone have any information regarding this chrome piece? Was is an option extra? And can it be fit for later model DT's like my '80 DT175MX? It really grabs my attention, and oh btw the rider's seat looks quite shorter.

Moderator Airhead Posted March 2, 2014 Moderator Share Posted March 2, 2014 I just dont get them, what are they for, carrying 3 on a bike perhaps, the one on the buddy seat...well their legs will just be dangling ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy10bikes Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 Go on tommy " you know you want one .. Just bought another XT500 today so looooaaads to do, the buddy seat is because the US seats are only a 3/4 seat not a full length seat.

Noise Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 Looks like someone has just turned a luggage rack into a seat, very clever but looks crap and as airhead said where does the extra pillion put there feet? stupid idea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fawzi963 Posted March 3, 2014 Author Share Posted March 3, 2014 At the beginning I liked it for its looks. Like to show how street-able a '70s - '80s dual sport is. And oh it on my bike either/or Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TTB Your taste in British bikes seems very similar to Japanese bikes if I'm not wrong. Old school dual sports are one of the best types of rides in my opinion!
