Seat covers
« on: May 01, 2013, 12:14:25 PM »
I am looking to put a new seat cover on my 1976 CB550F. Problem is there is only one that I can find. Its the gumtwo EBAy. I don't want stitched I would rather have heat pressed like it came from Honda. There are a couple of companies that make a nice cover but not for the 550F. pit-replica said they would make one for me for free! If I send them my old one but I don't have an original seat so I'm out in the cold on that deal. There is a company in england that even shipped to my door is a decent deal but they have everything except the 550F model  :o

two questions:

1. Is there another seat cover that will fit my seat pan like maybe a 1977 550K? The tanks are similar I thought maybe the seat pans have the same dimensions as well? Yes? No? anybody know for sure.

2. Does anybody have an old 1976 550F seat cover they would send me for the cost of shipping? It would have to be in decent enough shape just to get dimensions and pattern but that's it. Ripped is fine. Let me know what you got.

edited to add:

I thought of a 3rd option:

If you have an old beat up Cb550F seat cover, you can send to them and they will give you one for free (prolly charge for shipping) . Then at least I can purchase one to fit my bike.

here is the guy's email.  pitreplica2@gmail.com  Tell him duane sent you.

I got a seat cover for my 400f from this store and was very pleased with it-came with strap, cover and buckles....Larry http://www.ebay.com/itm/CB550F-seat-cover-Honda-CB550-F-SUPER-SPORT-1975-77-198-/150635602254?pt=Motorcycles_Parts_Accessories&hash=item231294e14e&vxp=mtr#ht_2002wt_1151

Sorry man, but marine vinyl and stitched pattern looks cheap to me. The pit-replica cover I bought for my 550K looks like an original seat from Honda.
