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.

@Airhead, so with some fiddling around, it will still not bolt on?

I won't bother with it anymore then. For some reason it looked good when I imagined it on mine

Yep Airhead is right that has to be the FUGLYIST thing ever !!!

Basically, I liked it since it made the bike look more practical.

If you want practical, just fit a carrier

Go on tommy " you know you want one ..

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 ?

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.

and maybe fat arses

you always have to bring me into things don't you,

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

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

@Tommy10bikes, you have got a gorgeous collection of bike!!

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!
