Seat restoration

(1/2) > >>

As i am fed up with bleeding brakes ( see other post ) I decided to restore my seat, an original honda item which i got from Steve d. I had the base powdercoated, it was very solid, and the foam was in good nick too. The seat cover i got from David Silver, it seems to be good quality and fitted pretty well but i was a little dissapointed that there was no Honda logo on the back, and the trim around the bottom is plain black where the original is chrome. If parts are to be remanufactured most enthusiasts would prefer them to be as near as possible to the original, even if this means a little more expense. Anyway it looks good, just waiting for a new strap to finish off, and might try to get some chrome trim, i think I recall another post about this?

SteveD CB500K0:
Looks good.

Do you have a "before" picture?

mickwinf:
hi Steve no i forgot to take before photos!

Tomb:
Nice job.

Could it be that DS can't put "Honda" on the back of the re-manufactured seats any more coz Honda won the court case?  :-\

mickwinf:
recieved the strap today and installed it, again not happy about quality but looks ok. I have also ordered a chrome trim via ebay will try that to see if it looks more original.
