That makes sense.
Any clues as to the origin of this seat? [ Guests cannot view attachments ]
Sesman:
That could be a 550 F2. Are you selling it, if so first dabs please.
Oddjob:
Looks like a 500K1 seat. Not a 550 as that has a tool kit holder on the rear.
I've not seen one with rubbers fitted in the air holes before though, probably fitted to stop the edges from rusting
Oh and to answer your question about the camchain, it's 88 links for the 500/550 although you've sorted the problem now.

It fits my 500 quite well, but if I can get a genuine 500 (or even a replica) at a reasonable price I will sell it and you def have first dibs.
Oddjob:
That is a genuine 500 one Gary, the ones DS sells are replicas and don't fit as well as that will. Remove the cover and the foam and get the pan powder coated, just fit the 5 standard cushion rubbers. Check the bolt holes for the seat bracket aren't stripped out before having it powder coated. If they are get 2 nuts welded to the inside after removing the captive nuts Honda used.
