"Honda" seat logo
« on: September 01, 2023, 10:35:17 PM »
I know that a stencil is available to paint the "Honda" logo on the rear of the 400 seat.  Is there an OEM seat cover available - or complete OEM seat, for that matter - that has the logo?

I got my 350k0 seat cover with a logo on (unusual due to copyright, etc) from P&K Classic
They may do one depending on what model

Thanks, philward!  I tried to call but no answer so I sent them an email enquiring about the CB400 seat covers.  My seat looks new (DSS, I believe) but does not have the Honda logo.  I was interested in the stencil but in looking at pics of the stencil/paint results, they did not look very good to me.

I've done loads of seat stencils, about 15 now, always a nice job to do.

Forgot to say, get the stencil from Piki, Diego Corral and use the correct vinyl paint.

Yes George Piki is a forum member, he is also our forum sponsor 😂😂😂 His company, Redice, is at the top of the forum page. I'll get him to pop his head in this afternoon 😁😁😁

Yes Johnny, it's this one, I've used the same one for years and it's perfect.

Nice job, Julie!  I'm not confident in my ability to duplicate it!  ;)

It is a lot easier than you think. You apply the stencil decal. Mask off around the area with newspaper to stop any over spray. Spray a very light coats at a time until it has built up and once dry remove all the masking tape and stencil.
If it doesn't look right, just wipe the paint off with nail varnish remover and start again  ;)

I've also used the stencil from piki and the paint recommended by Julie on my 500 - as Trig advised, it's quite easy. I bought the seat cover with the Honda logo on for the 350 because I needed a cover anyway. Would have gone the stencil route otherwise
