Will this work: '75 CB550F seat on a '75 CB400F
« on: August 19, 2015, 05:28:01 AM »
Hey guys,

Just need some input. Do you think a 1975 CB550F seat will work on a 1975 CB400F?

cheers

You might be able to make it work somehow, but it won't be bolt on.

Thanks for the feedback.

I might also have access to a CB350f seat, would that work?

They are all so scarce here. I also need a stock air box, rear fender & light, front fender, front light and left side cover.

Is there an interchangeability sheet somewhere on the interweb?
So I can try other models?

you can use the microfiche from a Honda dealer to check interchangeability . www.motogrid.com is a good source to do that....Larry

350F seat is a different size as well. Just replied to you on DTT about other parts.

what is your location that parts are so scarce?

Cape Town, South Africa. I wish I lived in the States, one can pick up complete cycles there for almost nothing.
