What does this seat go to?
« on: April 09, 2011, 08:31:25 AM »
This came with some parts bike I picked up. Could be a 550f seat maybe? I don't know and I'd rather not just guess.

Do I have a mystery seat? I know there is a honda guru who knows exactly what this goes to. Let's see it. Who will be the first to ID the seat!

It's not a 500F or a 550F seat. The hinge plates are wrong, there are rubber inserts missing which the 500 and 550 use. May be a 500 twin though but can't recall how that seat looked from the base, do seem to recall they were brown though but that may just have been on certain colour bikes.

Don't know why but I think it's a CB250 seat, maybe K3 or K4 seat

Could be a CB450 K5-K7 seat:

I'm feeling that Fritz. The cutout in the side is what tippe me off. The cover and the hinges all seem to be in the right places on the cmsnl list you put up there.

Thanks guys. This is why I am glad to be part of this forum. You guys can ID something that I have been scratching my head about for about two weeks.
