most of the seats are very specific.  the older flat seats belong on the 550s with the smaller tank (pop-top gas tank).  those seats will not fit correctly on the 78.  trust me, i've tried about 3 types of seats.  there are also different flat ones.  stick with the same yr.  not sure about crossing over to other models (ie. 450s or 750s).

I don't think they will match up at the tank. Tanks are completely different. Longer for 77-78
