Seat Lock Mechanism

Hi all,

The stock seat on my 2001 will not lock into place. Any suggestions on where to buy a new locking mechanism?

Thanks.

Had the same problem with mine, just try lubricating it that might do the tick, some wd-40 did the deal for me...if not you could try ebay for parts bikes, or here or vfrd..if not Honda will probrably provide one for the price of an arm and liver...goodluck ethier way!!

Thanks for the reply. One of the parts fell off so I need to buy the mechanism....know the name of the part? anywhere other than EBAY?

 

I've been looking for a few months as without any luck. It sounds like we may have the same problem as eachother as I lost a few pieces to mine as well. Anyhow please let me know if you find a good place to purchase one.

 

what part is busted?
the key putter-into-er or the seatlockshere?

 

It is the seat lock shere, the part that latches under the seat...thanks.

 

Sorry its been awhile scince I had a chance to reply...mine fell f too but was lucky enough to find all the peices and bolt them back on...im assumming the both of your vibrated the two bolts loose and it fell off lossing one part...unfortunatley I have no idea where to find the replacement unless you find a parts bike thats been wrecked (hence the ebay thing) or you go to a Honda stealership and let them order you a replacement, which will prbrably be rediculously expensive and you will have to buy the entire locking mechanism....thats all I can think of, unless you guys can "jerry rig" something...good luck sorry cant help more...

looks like for 15 bucks you're back in business, and can fear no speedbump!
