To check what other bikes had a certain part, you can enter your found partsnumber(s) here http://www.motogrid.com/OEMpartfinder.htm?aribrand=HOM No need to fill in 'Model', just the partsnumber. After you've clicked 'Search' and then 'select model' you'll be presented a list of models that had that same part. Could be useful. Helped me quite a few times.

Only good if the bike was sold in the USA. Tap in a UK unit part number and you will get zero results  ;)

I agree Graham ..I posted a link a few weeks back that linked you to the Honda Fiches though  and , at least for the CB250K4, gave you all of the country variant part numbers . i needed the UK front mudguard part number.. People say to me why bother butting the part number scans into my Dropbox when you can go to CMSNL's website but it simply not true.. they don't give all of the part numbers.

Here's the link .. images fuzzy to say the least but full fiches neverthless and I deciphered the part no. I required.  ;)

I recall some years ago asking Honda for a microfiche for a Honda AX1, it turned up in Japanese. When I asked for one in a language I could understand, I was informed that it was only available in Japanese and that not all Honda information was translated.

Yes ... Bryan loaned me his CB500K0 parts book to scan and put on here.. it's in Japanese too but the only one I have seen with certain early parts in it like the 'Made-in-Japan' stickers etc. It's tiny A5 with pull out pages for some diagrams etc

Ofcourse, but it can be useful nonetheless and in most cases I used it, it was. For instance I would never have guessed my bike has parts that were also on the CB450.

Looking at Oddjob’s pictures above, I see my seat pattern is different. Mine has the three rows of blocks, running the length of the seat, but the middle row is narrower than the outer two.

Aren't you describing the K2 seat above there Jon, matches your description and I see by your profile you have a 500K2 so that would fit you having that type of pattern.

No my middle block row is significantly narrower. I’ve tried to post a picture but failing miserably.

Is it a cover? you can usually tell by the way it's clipped to the base, genuine Honda use rivets through the chrome strip, covers don't.

I’m away for the next five weeks so can’t check. However I’m pretty sure it’s a cover. The material is quite  thin. Also, the seat doesn’t have the pocket for the Owners Handbook on the underside.

Take a pic of the underside as no pocket for the handbook may indicate it's a K0 seat not a K2. Or someone could have removed the pocket but the mount would still be there.

A threaded hole in the centre of the pan were the seat spring is bolted would also indicate a K0 seat pan ;)

Well I bought the seat, that started this thread, on eBay. I never even looked at the item location, blow me if he doesn’t live round the corner to me! Never seen his bike and no idea who he is.

He, like me, works away, so our paths, and bikes, have never crossed. (Wonder if I could borrow his exhaust system to see if that’s my ongoing problem ;-)
