Rusted seat pan
Trigger:
Ash, That is unusual for Frank but, to be totally fair, you don't know what the state of any seat will be until stripped. Seat pans from the states are nearly always in good nik but, the sponge just falls apart.
Bitsa (Ralph Wright - RIP):
Go along with Trig but boy thats one of the worst seat pans I have seen sorry Ash
Cheers

Will post my pics of the restoration of it when I have blasted it .. it looks nothing like that now. Yea it wasn't Frank's fault he is definitely one of the good guys .. wouldn't hesitate from buying from him again. I think it was due to the fact that the egg-box type foam, leaves areas under the foam open to the elements. Anyone know a source of 10mm thick sheet Dunlopillo red foam?

Honda have had a big girly fit (sorry Julie) about using their logo on non Honda produced items. Understandable I suppose but "Come on Honda grow up were Honda fans".
That said, does anybody know where seats are still available with the logo on (for a CB350F in my case).
Cheers all.

Must say having the logo showing is an advert whether Honda made the part or not. They only need to insist that pattern part makers say not made by Honda.
I think Piki stenciled his own?

Well got this bad boy working after work tonight and blasted the mega rusty seat base above and looking much better now. Never used a sandblaster before . Man is it satisfying seeing all that rust disappear. Before blasting I dunked it in oxalic acid solution for about two weeks.
