Title: Honda CB 400/4
Post by: Josse on February 16, 2016, 08:48:15 PM

Hi all can anyone recommend a humped café racer seat for this bike without having to cut off the bridge piece that the original rear mudguard bolts to
Thanks

I had a Two Four branded cafe racer seat back in the day... Might be one on ebay.
It used the standard latch and hinge setup.

There were also Guilari seats, which were similar to the Two Four ones, like this one:

They come up sometimes on eBay, where there is at least one NOS one available. Also available in black.

Hmm, wonder how they get away with using the Honda logo on the back of it?

Maybe the logo police weren't so active back in the late 70's / early 80's when these seats were made.

This is a short Manx Norton replica from Unity Equipe. I had to make up some brackets for it but it does come with bolts built into it. I haven't used the rear mudguard but the bridge piece is still there under the hump.

I got mine off ebay from a Greek company, user name e.ride2010, they have since featured my bike on their official website (http://c-racer.com/). I had to cut off the tubes beyond the bridge though.
