I have an original seat and just bought a complete T023 seat with red spronge from YAMIYA. Excellent quality. I asked YAMIYA if the padding on T023 and T087 is the same. They told me that it is not the same without telling me the difference. I don`t know witch of them their seat covers are, but I`m not in doubt that they are much better than the seat covers being offered out there on Ebay or somewhere else. The seat cover on my T023 has a bit more puffy padding than the original, infact mine. If you only bye a seat cover you have to be aware that you have foam with the correct shape. The foam I have seen on E-bay looks to have the same shape as the seats with the plastic pan. I don`t think it will fit the covers from YAMIYA. Maby it is possible to fix a bit with the shape of the foam.
Do you know how the lokal panel shop did the job. The exact proceedure. I have a cut fender with a cable guide, and a guy thought he could do the job, but he was not lucky. He made at little piece of metal witch fits in the hole and welded in by CO-welding. He told me that it is impossible to control the heat on such a thin fender (0,7mm). He burnt through. I have to say that he is an experienced man.
I would never use PC on a classic bike. A good nomal quality painting will be good enough for a bike that not beeing used in every weather, and it looks better than PC. It will also be much better than Hondas original painting witch was bad quality without base coat.
