Finally Found A Nice Stock Seat
« on: March 13, 2013, 08:19:40 AM »
So after looking at torn seats, recovered seats and even just seat pans this seat fell in to my lap or on to my ass depending on how you look at it.

It's missing one of the buttons though so if anyone has one let me know.

Yea gotta have a nice OEM seat. Though I have seen some nice recovered pieces. I hope this one lasts as it is old so it may start cracking.

I bid on a NOS 400F seat on ebay a few months ago. I was out at $250. It sold for $750 or so if I remember right.

Holy crap!  I bet that seller was happy.

Nice find, Apexxn

DSS sells a reproduction CB400F seat that looks and feels really really good for about $170. The pan is fiberglass but it's virtually indistinguishable from a NOS stock seat. You just need to bolt your original hinges to it.

A member on here has a nice one, or did have, for sale. $150.00. Might have been redone but still very nice.
