Anyone know what model cb this seats is from?
« on: February 10, 2011, 07:17:28 PM »
I'd like to find a replacement cover for this seat which came attached to my 1977 cb550k3 - but doesn't appear to be stock. Any clue where this little dumper might be from?



Also, any experiences/links about diy seat covers? I'm under the impression that this is the original 550k3 seat btw:

Could it come from a 550K4? The K4's had a stepped seat.

I bought a cheap seat cover for my 550F [$60] and installed, it, very simple and looked good.
It did not have the Honda logo on the back and that bothered me since I was doing a stock restoration.
I ended up finding a stock seat in great cond and bought it, sold the recovered seat to a fellow forum member, he was happy with it.

These look pretty good for the price: [not the one I bought]
