Repro Seat foam CB500/4

[AshimotoK0]

Guess this may be one for Trigger !

Anyone know somebody who does decent repro seat foams for the CB500 ? Possibly Bob the Seat (Morretti ..in Newent) Anyone know if there is any difference K0/K1/K2?

[JamesH]

My ears are burning - I also have a K0 500 seat that requires foam....

[Woodside]

I need one too.......let us know how it goes.
I know the k0 v k1 etc seat bases and covers are different. ..but no idea if foam shape is odd too

[AshimotoK0]

Will call 'Bob-the-Seat' when I have a spare mo' ... think that may be where Trigger got his. I know he does foams for CB750K0's

[AshimotoK0]

Spoke with Bob ... made to order £45 plus post. He told me he made the mould for the foam.

Ordered one from him just now ! (after Christmas manufacture though)

That's kind of you Bryan .. may be worth it if it's no trouble. Stayed not far from there last year in chalet at Newent Golf Club (no I don't play golf  ) . Bob sound like a nice bloke.

Cheers ... Ash

Ask him if its OK them if so send me the info mate

He's making it to order Bryan and he won't take any payment until it's finished, which I imagine will be mid-January. I will email he though to check if it's OK but pretty sure it will be. He says he used to sell loads of them but it tailed off, however he's just finished making one. You may need to get in there James & Woodside if it's suitable for you too,  as he may prefer to do three at once. He told me that if the pan has a flat rectangular section in it with a cross inside it's for a later model and the foam is different.

Cheers  .  Ash

These people do the chromed trim ..tad expensive though. I seem to recall Trigger said that someone in the UK sells it (possibly Bob-the-seat again)

I've used the second one down listed above recently. Good quality, easy to fit and looks really good when in place. It was an inch or so longer than needed but easily trimmed. I would recommend it.

I know they don't have internet yet ... it was a joke     

[Woodside]

Yeah I know..I was joking too!
I was going to elaborate a bit more as to what they would be doing with all the spare time and no wifi. ...but after a few beers and no glasses it would've been hard work
