Topic: Which seat hinge will work?

[speedy_the_drummer]

I need a seat hinge for my 75 CB550F and I'm wondering what other years/models can I snag one from?

According to the parts fiche cross-reference, the hinge bracket fits these models.  It also shows that it's still available from Honda for $9.04.

thanks! but the shipping is $20.07. That's silly.

Anyone have one?

[OldSchool_IsCool]

Good point.

Guess I'm a little spoiled as my local Honda dealer has an internet ordering site (with internet pricing) and offers a no-charge customer pick-up shipping option.  I have to pay state sales tax, but that's almost always less than shipping.

Maybe your local dealer has the same deal??

[speedy_the_drummer]

perhaps.

there's a junk yard i forgot about. its not open on mondays. so tomorrow i'll drop by there
