    I've searched around the forum but I can't find an answer to this one
    Will a 550 seca seat+cowl fit on a 650 seca? My seat pan is just about FUBAR and I can't find a replacement for less than the whole bike cost here in the UK but there's a few 550 seats going for reasonable money

    TIA

    550/650/750 seats are all different and not interchangeable without fabrication/mods.

    You might be able to swap the 550 foam and cover, and retain the original seat pan if it is usable.

    I'm working on swapping a honda shadow seat myself, still needs some minor tweaks.

    OK, thanks. It's as I feared then
    I see some plastic welding in my future, along with scouring ebay every day :cry:
