Stev-o - I know what you mean; I think it looks pretty wild, having never seen such a small King/Queen seat on a little 500, but it's too small for me, I'm going to try to find a Honda bench seat like the original - but a general question is, do I need to find another manual for it? I'm not sure how to go about disassembling it with that light on the steering stem, if there's any special way it comes out, how it's powered, etc.
I have a rider condition K0 500 seat in my stash that is available. I picked it up in a parts lot purchase last year. There is a little scuff/scratch near the front of the seat top center embossed panel(last picture), but the rest of the cover is decent, it has the latch hook and the hinge, it is missing one of the round rubber bumpers near the hinge.
I'm in southern NH. You can have it for $175 plus shipping. (The pictures are of it sitting on one of my 750s for reference)
BTW you can use a US service manual for you JDM bike.
The red speed warning light has a connection under the lower tree where the wire comes out to disconnect before unscrewing the cap nut that the light is mounted on.
