This isn't exactly a "Wanted to Buy" thread, but more of a "Help me find it" thread. That's why I posted it here instead of the classifieds.

I'm looking for this seat or, possibly, one very much like it:

I've seen them listed on ebay from time to time. I've seen an auction that lists the CB500/550 in the title and actually showed this or a similar seat on a Honda CB550.
I contacted "Hellboy" and he says he's out of stock. I'm not even 100% sure that his seat is the one I saw listed for the 550.

I know I want one that allows me to run the stock rear fender and this seat (or...again....one very much like it) will do that.

Here's a link to a completed auction:

If anyone knows of a source for these seats, please let me know.
 
I did find pics of the seat that was listed for the CB500, so it appears to be the same seat, minus the "buttons" on the cover.

Got one! He listed one on ebay this morning and I snapped it up. Paid a little more than the last one that went to auction, but I've been lusting over this seat for a long time now.

Here's what it looks like on the CB500/550.

Nice lines - upholstery is a bit bulky for my liking - but then I don't do the miles these days ! ;)
 
brand that makes the seat is a japanese company called Motoco.

i think the one on ebay link is a replica, but works just as well.
 
Maybe.... I like it because it fits nicely with the rear fender (think Thruxton style) and the hump isn't as high as many cafe' seats. I've seen some where the hump is actually higher than the gas tank. Me no likey.

The pad is removable and I plan on painting the seat to match my gas tank. Pics will be posted one of these days....

I don't know if its the one you want, but its pretty close.
 
Nope. That one's pretty different. I actually have one of those on my "Sweep The Floor" bike.
