Great find well done ash.

Got a NOS 'damaged' seat ... had to pay lots for this example of rocking horse poo. Just hope I can fix it.
Stayed behind at work in the freezing cold to blast clean the centre stand (pin free and no wear). Cleaned the transmission cover in the parts washer, didn't bead blast it as it's pretty good, will just strip the clear coat and redo.
Seat photo's a bit naff .. camera not focusing properly since my daughter hid it away tidying up :(. Padding in quilting looks really pronounced compared with all the repros I have seen. it's the same with the repro CB750K0 seats ...only the Yamiya ones come anywhere close to the original. Why can't UK seat cover suppliers repro this correctly?

"Is it missing a round rubber Ash?"
Yes well spotted Ken .. got a few spare ones though.

Stripped down NOS seat . Evidence of water ingress and cover de-fused not torn/cut/ripped. Interesting that the original 3/71 cover was stitched. NOS has no stitching at all ... All heat fused or bonded and the heat fusing/ bond interface has de-laminated. pics tell the story.
