1975 550f seat
« on: May 23, 2015, 07:27:06 AM »
Is it possible that a 1975 550f came with a dark brown seat? It the candy blue color. Thanks

It most likely was changed at some point, only the '76 came with brown from the factory. 
I'm restoring a '76 and need a seat if you want to sell?

I will be replacing or repairing the torn cover. Thanks for your response, I will be keeping the seat.

I've had pretty good luck replacing worn seat covers, it's pretty basic.

I'll prolly be buying this one for mine...

It's not the cheapest one but I prefer to pay more for better quality.

My first 550F was a 75 and came with the brown seat. I sold it for 100 bucks back in the day. What an idiot I was.
