Most stock looking seat for a CB500K3?
« on: April 20, 2006, 10:32:34 PM »
Hi!

I'm looking for a new seat.

Davidsilverspares has one at £83, how is the quality?

And then I can get this one

For ~180£...

Or are there other options?

No expert here, but the tail end of the classicrace seat doesn't look right.  The cut-back seems oput of place.  I checked the parts fiche, but it's a front-end drawing.  I've not purchased from DSS, but their name seems to be gold.

Is this a different bike or are you changing the seat on Harry's old 500?

The K3 seats were very different from the F1/2 seat you show in the picture.  The stock seat looks like this:

I want the type of seat you show there, but I can't find it anywhere...

The one in the picture on their site looks good.

If they confirm that the 550K3 seat will fit the 500K3, I'd say go for it.
