Seat options

I'm looking for a new seat so my wife can ride with me. The bike i just bought seems to have an aftermarket single seater rear tail section. I'm wondering if the actual seat from an 86 VFR 500 will also fit my 750. Anybody know?

 

you culd probably pick one up for less than $20 if nothin else they make great conversation pieces.

 

True, but i doubt my wife would agree to give it a spot on the wall in the living room. What i need to do is find some younger soul who is enamored with the idea of the solo seat, and wishes to trade bodywork.

 

I have a 84 vf750f and would love to get rid of my double seat and get a solo seat cowl......what year is your 700? 86?

 

Sorry, i should have mentioned it is an 86 750. Perhaps someone with the correct bodywork is interested? (might help if i post pictures of what we are talking about eh?)

 

Hmmm.....I'm tearing mine down for paint right now, the only person that rides with me is my son & he doesn't like it much. I could be coersed into possibly trading body work & seat for a solo set up. Send me some pic's of yours & we'll go from there. ( 86' 700F)

 

I'll send some pictures as soon as i can get Imageshack to cooperate :/

 

swap with ya

hey stoops, i have a 1987 VFR700 and desperately want a solo. the two should be interchangeable.

 

seat trade

hay Im interested in those pictures also .... I have a stock two seater (blue) and mine is a 86 750 also thanks

 

86/87 solo seat wanted

Hay I wanted to know if you resolved your seat problem yet ? I have four two seaters but I really want a solo seat well please let me know thanks

 

count me out

Hey stoops, just wanted to let you know that I picked up a solo seat cowl from another guy so I am set. Hopefully you can get your figured out too.

 

I'm currently not certian what i'm going to be doing with the bike. I haven't resolved my seat issue but the bike decided to die on me 80 miles from home on a ride yesterday. On my way now to go pick it back up and figure out whats going on.

 

I just bought a Corbin seat on Ebay. I saved about $200, but you can buy them new for around $400. They also have a backrest available. I wish I would have made this upgrade years ago. It has by far been the best improvement I have made to my VFR. It is soooooo comfortable!

 

If a 500 seat will fit I would be interested.

 

I also bought a custom Corbin on eBay on my last 86 750.....looked awesome but changed my riding position so I was in serious pain after 15 minutes!! Being the vain gal I am (w/regard to my rides) I refused to take it off and just sucked it up...... :}
