77' cb550 seat pan question!
« on: November 12, 2009, 12:49:24 PM »
I may have a line on a cb550f seat pan, upon which to rebuild a repro seat.  Can anyone provide a pic of the underside of a 77' seat, so I can check if this pan is the one?

Thanks!

In 1977 and 1978 honda flipped the hinge and lock on the seats.  If you are sitting on the bike the hinge in on the left and lock on the right on 77 and 78 models.  I don't have a picture, but you can see one here:

I just bought the seat on the left for my 77 550.  He says both of these are from 77 550's.

I hope that helps.

That definitely helps, thanks for the input.

I think I may be okay.  Besides, at $22.50, shipped, you can't lose!
