Would any of you happen to have these items laying around and up for sale?.

Left side fuel petcock for an 80 special

Either a seat or seat cover in good great condition for an 80 special.

Good Yamaha badges for the tank (no chrome wear etc)



Thanks ALOT

[Geezer]

I have a seat for an 80 special that I'd let go ceap but it also needs to be recovered.

Geezer

[Bauer]

Thanks, but thats how mine is also. the outer stitches are tearing out.

Hey Geezer, is the seat pan in good shape or be sandblasted and cleaned up? Does it have the brackets and bolt/nuts for fastening it? Also will it fit a 79 special? If so PM with what you want for it. thanks dew

[Geezer]

As I recall it's rust free but I want to keep the mounting hardware for a custom seat I want to build. If I still have the seat when I start the project, I will probably cut the pan up and weld parts of it into the new seat.

It came off a bike that had been sitting inside a somewhat damp garage for over 15 years. I had to replace the fork tubes because they were pitted in the seal area. Over all it was a great low milage bike and I would have kept it but Specials kill my back.

So if you keep the hardware, does that mean you would give up the pan and do you know if it will fit a 79 special?

[Shuriken]

I may have one. I bought a seat for my 79sf and it never quite fit. I know it is for a special though. I can send a pic if you want. I have the right seat for my bike and have no need for that one.

It does not need to be recovered.

Hay AE if you would PM me some pictures would be great! Make sure you show the top, bottom and back. thanks dew

[Bauer]

could I get those pics also?

[dewibp]

Let's see here..... Bauer if you bought AE's seat maybe I could end up with your seat pan and my old fastners? Would that work out for all?

[Bauer]

Lets see what AE wants for the seat first, then ill tell you for sure haha.

Thanks again for the seat bolts.

[Shuriken]

Maybe not what you guys are hoping for, but at the moment, these are the only pics I could scrounge up:

Sorry about the large filesize. Pics 1 and 2 are of the bike (and seat) before I started working on it. Pic 4 is the state the bike is presently in.

Pic 3 shows the bottom of the seat pan and shows that it's mislabeled as well.

Wont work for my bike so Dew if your interested its all yours.

[dewibp]

AE, let me compare your pictures to the seats I have. It LOOKS like it would fit a 79 special as it has the recess for the electonic box??? Your saying it did not fit your 79 special? What did not fit well? thanks dew

Do a search. There are LOTS of previous threads on places that do an excellent job recovering seats.
