CB500 seat replacement
« on: August 04, 2008, 07:20:49 AM »
What seats will fit a 71 CB500.  I have been told conflicting information.  On the one hand, I have been told that seats from CB500/CB550s will fit up to 1976.  On the other hand I have been told that only a 71 CB500 will fit.  Which is right?  Also, if I decide to have it reupholstered, will are the covers interchangeable?

I have been reading about a place in Florida called Sargents that does re-upholstery.  Would that be a better route to go since my seat needs to be completely rebuilt (new cover, foam, chrome trim, etc.)?  I have also found a NOS replacement seat on ebay, but it has a plastic seat pan and it is $300.

If they aren't compatible, are there any simple modifications to get a proper fit?
