I could barely touch the ground flat-foot on it!!!<\/p>\n<p>So, I found a seat on eBay that was real slick looking that was said to fit the 1970-1974 cb450. This is the dude&#8217;s eBay store:<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/stores.ebay.com\/hondaclassic31\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/stores.ebay.com\/hondaclassic31<\/a><\/p>\n<p>He def has some real sick seats for a lot of different bikes. Anyway, to make a long story short, I ordered the seat for the 450, and then he emailed me a few days later and said that he was mistaken in his eBay post, and the seat won&#8217;t fit 73-74. <\/p>\n<p>So, I cancelled my order, printed out pictures of what the seat looked like, and brought my stock seat to the same upholstery shop that did my cb650 seat. They charged me $175 which is $75 less than the eBay dude. This is their shop:<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.livestrong.com\/business-j-and-j-auto-seat-covers_215-335-3301\/\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.livestrong.com\/business-j-and-j-auto-seat-covers_215-335-3301\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>They&#8217;re located in N.E. philly.<\/p>\n<p>I think the seat turned out great. I wanted it to look like it could&#8217;ve came from Honda this way, because the 450 is all stock other than clubmans, so I didn&#8217;t want a seat that looked out of place, but I wanted to sit a few inches lower.<\/p>\n<p>Stock seat:\u00a0<\/p>\n<div class=\"cott-article__copy-img\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.chinonthetank.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/03\/450_seat_04.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-920\" title=\"450_seat_04\" src=\"https:\/\/www.chinonthetank.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/03\/450_seat_04.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>New seat:<\/p>\n<div class=\"cott-article__copy-img\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.chinonthetank.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/03\/450_seat_01.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-917\" title=\"450_seat_01\" src=\"https:\/\/www.chinonthetank.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/03\/450_seat_01.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"cott-article__copy-img\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.chinonthetank.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/03\/450_seat_02.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-918\" title=\"450_seat_02\" src=\"https:\/\/www.chinonthetank.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/03\/450_seat_02.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"cott-article__copy-img\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.chinonthetank.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/03\/450_seat_03.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-919\" title=\"450_seat_03\" src=\"https:\/\/www.chinonthetank.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/03\/450_seat_03.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8230;was super tall from Honda.
