Hodaka "Buddy Seat"???

OK, can anyone tell me if this was actually an authentic Hodaka-sold aftermarket accessory? I got quite a chuckle when I saw it this morning, as at 210 lbs...my recently restored model 99 Toad can barely lug MY bloated body around, much less that of a passenger! Granted...it seemed to move much quicker back in '74 when I tipped the scales at about 90 lbs. ;)

Yup, looks like the real thing to me!

NOTE: This is one way to convert your bike into a (toooo) ready wheelie machine -- requiring only a willing passenger (deep thinkers not recommended). :-)

Thanks Ed! You know...your suggestion is one sure-fire way to ensure that I "keep the rubber side UP"!! ;)

That's a cool accessory. It will be interesting to see how much it sells for. I bet its more than the current $31.
