Lepper made a bicycle saddle similar to the moped saddle you show in your post. It was around early 1970's. It had a very unique look to it - not like a USA banana seat.

You could check out ebay under collectibles:transportation: bicycle.

Trico Sports Ultra Lounge looks like a prety good size seat.

Thats not what Im looking for. I want something long, like the kind in the pic!

Strip the engine out, weld a bottom bracket onto the frame, attach bicycle wheels to it. set up whatever drive train you like, then pedal on.

Try looking at seats for lowriders too.

If I wanted a motorbike, I would buy a motorbike!:D

A banana seat is as close as you are going to get, brand new that is. I have never seen a bicycle seat like the one you are picturing. You could always take a banana seat and have it beefed up pad wise and recovered. Get a high rise sissy bar and make a lumbar pad for it. That would be cool.
