Hello all, I'm looking for advice with my cb750k seat/tank arrangement. I bought this recently from a guy who claims the original owner had this bike customized by adding a larger cb tank available from honda that year, along with what he believed was a different seat in order to accommodate for the tank. Overall the bike came in decent condition and looks clean, however, there seems to be a horrible issue with the way the seat pivots when opened. The edge of the stee frame seat will bind with the old side covers on the bike! It makes me cringe! The side cover on the
hinge side is scratched on the top from all the times this seat was opened and was rubbing against the side cover. I am not a person who you could call a neat freak or perfectionist. I am more of a preservative person. I dont care if theres dings or chips here and there. What wakes me up in my sleep at night is knlwing things like rust is spreading or these plastic side covers which are near impossible to find, are cracking due to a stupid issue like this! I believe that a taller hinge would lift the seat farther from the side cover, allowing for clearance. However, nothing seems to be available, let alone stock replacement hinges for this seat! Would you say the seat , tank, side covers, etc are not stock to this year bike? Please give me your thoughts! It would be a huge help to know what parts/pieces I have for repairs and maintenance purposes! Also if it is not stock and needs to be replaced with functional parts so the seat can open without issues, that would be something I would be willing to do!
Thanks everyone and happy riding!
