cb550 seat pan
« on: December 20, 2015, 10:31:34 AM »
are the seat pan compatible across all years?
I have a 1978 CB550 and would like to get rid of the hump in the rear.
Could I use an earlier seat pan?

Earlier seat pans are different - they have the hinge and lock mounted further back as the earlier seat sits further forward & butts up to the shorter length tank, John
