What is this Seat?
« on: August 26, 2015, 03:28:46 PM »
Found this seat while clearing the garage roof at my mother's house.
Not even sure it is Honda although back in the late 70's I owned a CB450 Black Bomber so maybe from that model.
Looks like it should locate somehow at the front of the seat (2nd pic) with a bracket on the studs at the back to bolt the seat
in place, but also seems to have fittings for a metal support arm of some kind (3rd pic).
Cover doesn't look original, may or may not be correct pattern.
Any suggestions would be much welcomed!

Maybe off a CB450K1 twin DOHC like this one. Has the seat support rod missing ( rear hinging like CB250/350K0/K1/K2)

Thanks for the suggestions. I too had noticed that the support rod on Ash's seat is on the other side.
I have had a look around and this one looks very similar, claimed to be for a 1970 CB450 K3.

Don't know why I would have had a K3 seat (mine was a 1966 bike), maybe came with it as spares.
I'll stick it on eBay when I get around to it but at least now I can give buyers a clue as to what it is for.
