Product Overview
CLASSIC SR400/500 SEAT, STITCHED TRIM, BLACK, 99988.
The classic SR400/500 custom seat recreates the atmosphere of the 70’s and is reminiscent of the early SR400/500 seat (Japanese released model). The seat trim design and stitching, adds to the classic feel. The seat base is fiberglass, and it adopts urethane foam with a comfortable firmness to ensure seat fatigue is kept to a minimum, even if ridden for a long time or when touring. The seat shape differs to factory seats and the foam has been lowered by 25mm compared to normal. The seats overall shape has been slimmed down slightly, this means the seat suits use with up right bars and clip on bars.

FAQ:

- A1: The seat height is measured at hip point of the seat when compared side by side.
- Q2: The initial model (78 & 79 models) are not compatible as seat contacts the frame bridge, can I still use this seat on a 78-79 model?
- A2: Yes, you can fit the seat. However, you need to remove the rear seat frame bridge, (*which is not fitted from 1980 onwards)
- Q3: Does this seat fit the FI (injected) models and Carbie models?
- A3: Yes, the seat is a direct fit to the FI, & you can use on carbie models using the mounting kit #15685 (purchase separately)
NOTES:

-> The SR400 (80~08) & SR500 (80~99) models require a separate custom seat installation kit. Please purchase #15685 separately.
-> The SR400/500 (78~17) requires a minor hole adjustment of the seat rear cowl (elongate holes by 2-3mm), instructions included.
