Hey all- great to find you out here after finding almost no MZ support/info on the web- I know-- old story. I just got an '01 Black Panther on Ebay with 5K km on the clock for $3200... from what I can tell this is a good deal?? And the can is aftermarket already, thankfully... a BSM Vampire (never heard of them before). After having a KLR for two years I look forward to something with a bit more style and power... anyhow, good to be here. :)

yeah I heard the seats can be a bit hard... most of the time it'll be used for a 4 mile commute, so no problem, but I have a 5-hour trip coming up this weekend on it... so... ouch :o Oh well, better than the hardtail chopper I just sold to get it!

hello
and welcome to MZ riders

get a sheep skin and fix it to some bungie cords and hook it on the bike
for a seat cover works great on my Saxon Tour till it rains
then it needs to be in a zip lock bag

( :-D along with the rider and his camping gear... :-D )
