I like the color combo, was that stock ?
If an 80 SG seat would fit I think that would look good, whadya think ?

Well, Don -

The main color appears to be the Indigo Blue that came on the H from the factory ...

But, on this bike, it appears someone painted the tank inserts with a shade of blue (unless the light is playing tricks with the color). The factory tank insert color was white/ivory.

As for the seat ... there would be problems trying to fit an SG seat on this H.

The SG seat had that opening in the back where the taillight fit, so it would look very unfinished mounted on an H.

Secondly, you would probably have to trim the front of the SG seat pan in order to fit the H tank (Special pans were cut straight across in front, Standard pans had a slight curvature).

Also, the H sidecovers wouldn't align well with the SG seat installed on the H.

Hey, Unca D -

There is this pic taken from the official Yamaha brochure for the H:



And here is Mike's (MPittma100) recent acquisition:



Both are stock factory seats ...

Plug-n-play on the Venturer. Cushion will 'ride-up' a bit on tank(no mods needed). Where the sides of seat slope, that lowest part will hit top close enough to sidecovers that seat has to be removed to remove sidecovers. BTW, the Venturer is the ONLY Standard model a Special set WILL fit on.
