Part No for 2017 EX low seat? - p200_imp - 05-03-2021

Does anyone have the honda part number for the 2017EX honda low seat from Japan? Or a recommendation on where to buy one? is samurider the best option?

Seems like the K&H low seat does not fit the 2017EX or am I wrong?

I could be wrong, but I thought seats were interchangeable between model years, so it would be a surprise if the K&H seat didn’t fit.

Houtman, or someone with more than one year might help us.

Oh, and welcome to the forum, p200.

Thanks! glad to be here. The reason I was assuming the K&H didn't have a low seat for '17 was because only mid seats are shown with the products listed on their page.

I'm making the assumption that the "flangeless" tank is the correct tank not the 14L or 17L tank. Hoping I'm wrong about the availability of the low seat.

Please don’t go on my say so. Someone here is likely to know. Otherwise I’d be asking Mr T at Samurider about the options.

I checked with Mr. T and as it turns out the K&H low seat is not designed for the flangeless tanks of the 2017-2020 RS/EX models.

Read this thread. It might help even if not K&H seat. http://cb1100forum.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=16564&highlight=seat

thanks for the info. I've decided to order a low honda seat from Japan. I've heard the corbett seats are comfy, but I'll probably be fine with the japanese factory seat. wonder why they don't make those available in the U.S.

for comparison - standard seat

That is quite the difference. Thanks for sharing.

Doesn’t look like you will be pushed forward as much with that version.

Striking colour contrast with helmet.

The bike looks great.
