76 550f seat on a 77 550f?
« on: May 27, 2009, 07:15:54 AM »
I hope I'm not beating a dead horse with this question, but the search didn't really give me any desirable results. I know there are a ton of seat fitment issues so I thought I'd ask before I got this seat. I found a 76 550f seat, and the bike is a 77 550f. Does anyone know if it will fit?

Thanks a ton!

Anybody? Or can anyone point me in the direction of somewhere to get aftermarket seat. It see the 550f seats are rare!

All the Cb550F seats are interchangeable; shape, size, and mechanical fit.  However, the 76 had dark brown color, not black.

Beware that some people/sellers call the K model an F because the side badge uses a big oversize F in the word Four on the side cover.

K model seats are NOT a direct interchange onto the F model CB550.
