    No, the 550 Seca covers will NOT fot a 750 Seca seat! In fact, almost no seat covers are really interchangable between any models; they are all unique not only in the "pattern" (appearance), but also in the wya they are formed to fit the underlying seat pan and the molded seat foam.

    I should have correct replacement seat covers available for your model in a few months, early summer perhaps........

    This might be worth a look for an '83 Seca 750. :wink:

    I have a seat for sale from an 82 seca. I think they are the same. I'm not sure if the cover on it now is the original or not but it is in great shape.

    Check it out at http://xjbikes.com/Forums/viewtopic/t=16527.html

    Cheaper than $190 for a new seat cover.

    And better than a seat cover that is retained by a DRAWSTRING!!! (like a dirty laundry bag!!!!) :D

    And yes, all the '81-83 750 Seca seats and seatcovers are the same........

    I just got my new seat cover for my maxim from B&H Specialties today. It only cost about $88 and took about 3 weeks to get it.

    I had mine redone professionally by Sargent's Cycle Products and it cost all of $119, including return shipping. http://www.sargentcycle.com/custserv.htm

    The price of a new cover was going to be near that... Would have been even less except I had them add the colored welt.

    The seat from my '83 is going to them in the next couple of days.
