Product Overview
DAYTONA SR400/500 COZY™ SEAT, SHORT/LOW, BLACK, 41109
The SR400/500 custom short - low seat is used for Customs, Cafe racers & Tracker/Scrambler inspired builds! Its shape and trim allow it to be used on a wide range of custom build styles which has made it a popular choice for many years in Japan. Use it on your tracker and scrambler type build, or low-down Cafe racer! The top trim is a smooth finish. This plain yet appealing finish works well to keep the seat dry under most conditions and the seams and stitching are kept to a minimum.
The seat base is fiberglass, and it adopts urethane foam formulated by Daytona after a lot of trial and error, therefore one of its features it is known for is being comfortable compared to most slim custom seats, even if ridden for a long time or when touring. Compared to other low (custom seats) the COZY™ seat range aims to minimize seat fatigue and extensive testing has been done to offer the seat with better comfort than most seats with a similar low-down style all while officering custom SR classic styling!
For your interest: we have included a link to a YouTube clip below. The clip shows three seat options. The Daytona seat is the previously available (Horizontal line version), however, it is the exact same seat as shown here minus the horizontal lines in the trim.

FAQ:
Q1: Regarding the 55mm height reduction - (compared to the normal seat thickness), where is it measured?
A1: The seat height is measured at hip point of the seat when compared side by side.
Q2: The initial model (78 & 79 models) is 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 come in different trims (such as tuck roll)?
A3: No, this seat is only available with the smooth trim at this time.
Q4: Does this seat fit the FI (injected) models and Carbie models?
A4: Yes (fitment on both is possible). The seat is a direct fit to the carbie model, however, when installing on the SR400FI ('10~'17), it is necessary to install it simultaneously with the optional custom seat mounting kit (75652), which is available in our store.
INSTALL NOTES:
-> The SR400/500 (78~79) models requires the rear seat bridge to be removed from the frame
-> The SR400 (80~08) & SR500 (80~99) models are a direct fit.
-> The tandem (pillion) belt is not included, please purchase it separately if required, (#16087 - black can be adapted).
-> *Or alternatively use the genuine rear grab bar or use the side assist grips *sold separately.
-> Although the seat is waterproofed, there are cases where water may seep into the seat seams due to stitching treatment and design. This is normal with most stitched seats. Just let it dry in the sun or if parking in rain / wet conditions use a seat cover when parked or washing the bike.
NOTES:
Image with Daytona stainless fender and Daytona adjustable taillight is shown with the horizontal trim seat (now discontinued), *the image is to show the length and to show a fitment example with the fender and taillight.
