GB500 solo seat on 78 CB550K ? or other possible fits?
« on: February 14, 2006, 03:00:11 PM »
I read the post on making your own solo seat, Great!!! but I'm trying to find a bolt- on fit for my 550, with slight mods, I have a couple of fiberglass seats that need lots of tinkering and brackets, some require removing stock air box(not the end of the world, but more work) anyone have any ideas or experience with this type of search? thanks, Ken

Hmmm.  The GB seat certainly looks good. It will be very interesting to see how this thread pans out.

I suppose the first piece of information you need is the width of the GB500 frame.  does anyone have one handy to measure? maybe ask an ebayer?
