My seat base on my 550 f2 is not great, has been repaired in the past and is solid-ish and the foam and cover have seen better days but functional. I saw on facebook a repro seat someone was selling at a decent price so took a risc and bought it. At first i was pleased, it looks decent so tried it on this morning but i doed not fit well at all. I searched for other posts and seems like a common problem, but is it worth modifying to fit? And why do the manufactures make reproductions that are not as near as possible to the original? Ok its a fibreglass base, but also the pattern on the seat is wrong, the fixing bolt mounts are in the wrong place, th rubber spacers don't line up with any part of the frame and the grab strap is also wrong and the chrome ends a different shape. So anyone out there got a restorable seat for f1/ f2 for sale? Bitza will be looking down and laughing but good seats are hard to find.
