Honda Cm cafe style seat

[hossler]

I really like the style of the 1pc cafe style seats they sell on ebay for $180. I have a 82 honda cm450, i dont think they offer a seats for the honda cm. so what would be the best fit, a honda cb550 or a honda cx500?

thanks

As far as I know, the CM450 and CM400 seat pans are identical. I know I've seen the CM400 cafe seat on eBay. It's also not too hard to cut down the foam and/or pan to make a good looking seat, with help from a good upholstery shop. Hell, I even had my mom so the cover for mine!

I torn down the cover/foam on my seat and rebuilt it. it needs some tidying up in the back but it was made using the original cm400 seat pan. doesn't look half bad.

Here's my modified stock seat pan, made to fit a CB400 seat cover. Had to shorten the pan and shave some foam.

Here's the size difference for comparison
