The guys at classiccyclecity (no web page, hmm) are selling this seat on ebay:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=270288443342&_trksid=p2761.l1259

I message the seller (one of our members, maybe Nippon?) and he replied back that they'll hopefully be ready in a couple of weeks!! Drool drool...

Wow! Nice seats! And good news on the 550! RR

SOHC member - Nippon makes these seats and they are excellent quality - he is very reliable and Id have no hesitation buying anything from him or his Ebay account Classic cycle.

cheers

Very nice seat. I wish I had seen it before........

Im really contemplating buying a seat from those guys. So far they have been really helpful whenever I have questions.

moham · « **Reply #5 on:** October 22, 2008, 02:01:53 PM »

$160 is not bad when somebody in the parts for sale section wants $100 for an average stock seat. Plus these are sexy as hell...

Johnny5 · « **Reply #6 on:** October 22, 2008, 04:01:54 PM »

I bet that seat will sell for $300+.

That's the original, not a repro; it should easily sell for more than that. Of course, not to me... $:-\$

nippon · « **Reply #8 on:** October 22, 2008, 11:06:44 PM »

Hi,
yes, the repro seat is one of my projects.
The next run will have the mouldings/trims, too.

Just bought a new repro from him. The quality seems to be excellent. I've been watching the one above also, but decided to go for the new one. After I paid for it. Ted call me back. he is a very nice personality and seems to know his stuff. He asked me about colors, harness of the foam and the logo locations. He told me it will take 4 days to make it custom, then ship. I'm really happy already. I'll post pics when it arrives.

I can really vouch for the guys at Classiccyclecity - very reliable, and they know their stuff. I have been dealing with them for a while, and they are all great guys.

Cheers,

I had an original Guliari seat on my old CB750.
I got more compliments on the seat than on the bike

ieism · « **Reply #12 on:** October 23, 2008, 08:37:07 AM »

I have an original guliari seat for a 550 in decent condition, though not as good as the one he has on Ebay.
I'll be watching this item closely, as I'll be selling mine as well.

mj_honda · « **Reply #13 on:** October 24, 2008, 12:53:05 PM »

Hey nippon. Are you going to make any seats that will fit the 77k/78k?

nippon · « **Reply #14 on:** October 27, 2008, 04:37:42 AM »

Yes, we do!
we are working on a solution. We keep you informed.
Just take a look at the pic.

BTW, we are working on an 'english version' Giuliari style seat with a paintable hump, too.

Maxacceleration · « **Reply #15 on:** November 11, 2008, 10:00:03 AM »

Does the 550's all have the same stock mounting set-up so this seat will work on, say a '75 550F SS?

nippon · « **Reply #16 on:** November 11, 2008, 10:52:12 AM »

It works, if your CB550 has the same seat hinges like the CB500.
We have reproduced the CB500 hinges in stainless steel.
With the bolt plate which you can see in the first photo,....you can 'sandwich' our Giuliari reproduction seat fully functional to the CB500/550 frame.
photo #3 shows our hinge kit for the CB750 frame.
The hinges should work with any GFK cafe seat out there.

nippon do you have any seats available at this moment? and at what cost?
i have a 76 550F with the original hinges.
Guliari seats look great!

Otto · « **Reply #18 on:** November 14, 2008, 12:56:31 PM »

I have a 76 550K . I would like a price on a seat and the S/S hinge set please.

I've got a 78 550k and would be super interested in a seat as well.
I've been salivating over the Guliari seat since I first saw one.

Chris Liston · « **Reply #20 on:** November 14, 2008, 01:14:19 PM »

Ditto, 76 550F, stock hinges.

snowmeizer · « **Reply #21 on:** November 14, 2008, 01:45:36 PM »

ive got a 76 cb360, a 550/500 seat should fit, right?

nippon · « **Reply #22 on:** November 16, 2008, 06:40:39 PM »
