I have a nice 78 Darmah and I love riding it......except for that terribly uncomfortable whale tail seat. Does anybody in the states have a complete 2nd generation Darmah seat with the clamshell rear section for sale? Red would be preffered, but I will take whatever is available and have it painted....

Tom,

Sent you a pm.

Yes, I am up north in Lake county.

What part of Illinois are you from?

When I bought the bike, I almost did not buy it because the title did not match the frame number. After a thorough searc...

thanks for the offer but I have already found a 1978 Darmah.

That would be great!

did you ever get a paint code for the red? I am going to be painting my 78 Darmah soon and a paint code would be very helpful. Under normal circumstances I would just try to match the original paint, but the original owner painted over the stock red paint job.

lewmoto,

i am guessing from your line of questions that you are looking to buy one or possibly have one to sell?
