Help! 1978 CB750K seat hinges.
« on: August 15, 2015, 08:28:15 AM »
Just had the seat to my Cb750K8 recovered. Looks great, but the lady who did the seat must have took the hinges off the seat. Now it doesn't seem to want to line up to get the pins back in.... if someone out there has a 77 or 78 750K, could you snap a couple of pics of the seat hinges? That way I can put mine back on correctly.

Thanks.

Pic of the seat?   Can you loosen the hinges, then slide the pins in??

No, the hinges were removed when she re-upholstered the seat. I think she put them back on backwards. I've been messing with it. After trying three positions, I got the right combo. The front and rear hinges are different lengths.....

Looks like she did a nice job on the seat. 

Did you buy the seat cover and have her put it on?

Yeah, I bought the cover and she installed it. She does very nice work, we've had her do chair cushions and other household stuff. She even repaired a seat on my "66 Tempest. That saved me a bunch, didn't need to get seat covers

A '66 Tempest?  I had one years ago, paid about a 100 bucks for it from a buddy.  Didn't look too good but ran great!

I sold mine a few years back to generate some cash for my oldest son's tuition..... just as well, I like motorcycles, better.
