Where do you get the idea it's a NOS seat Ash ?. It's obviously been fitted to a bike and sat on in the past for the cover to split and used out in the rain for the water to get in, so where does the NOS, as in new, old stock come from ?.

All terminology .. to me it's as 'New' as you will find. I know people who do have new ones in box, plus new Honda genuine pipes etc  but you will have to wait till they snuff it before they part with them. From what I was told the seat had other seats piled on it and in damp conditions.

OK it'a dealer take off then !   ;D ;D ;D ;D

Its from my  10/69 diecast 750 K0 . The new ones I got from David Silver in 2009 are superseded parts and wrong. Brake clip and exhaust collars are from 750 too.

Regarding solid chain adjuster:

My 16.0xx diecast has them too.

Do you know until which VIN they used them?
