Looking for a photo of a K0 seat latch
« on: May 09, 2013, 08:28:23 PM »
I just got a new repro K0 ducktail seat for my K2 and discovered the seat latch is different - it dosent lock?  I am looking for a photo of the seat latch on the seat and the "female" part that attaches to the frame. If anyone has this combo for sale Id be interested in buying it!

Thanks
Andy

Thanks Johnie thats exactly what I was looking for. I found out after posting that Yamiya is the only place that still sells both pieces.

Many thanks

Nope, I bought that one for my sandcast, only to find out that there are kind of 2 K0 era latches...the one in Johnie's pic is the first kind, and the one I got from Bill doesn't have that the extra silver safety catch.

Good to know and thanks to you both!

All you have to do is type in " 1969 Honda KO seat latch"
Then go to IMAGES not web results and you will see a photo of the thing you are looking for.

Sometimes the photo is from Ebay and the part may still be for sale.

You have THE most powerful tool in the world at your finger tips.
