Hey everyone just wanted to introduce myself.
My name is Tyler and I just picked up a1980 cb650c.
So far loving the bike however not digging the seat. I really want the seat on the cb550. Love the belt and the fact that it's flat! I don't like the passenger sitting up higher and neither does my passenger.
Anyone know if I can put this seat on mine or if there is a way to modify to get one like this?
New to the forum with some seat questions.

Welcome here! The seats are not going to instantly interchange, but you can make anything go on nearly anything--it just depends on how much modification you want to do.

I'm all about modifying! I'm just not really sure where to start on this one. Any suggestions would be welcomed!
Also if anyone has some suggestions on cheap clubman's.

Welcome here, Tyler!
Things would have been a bit easier for a 79 as the 79 (RC03) frame is more or less flat there.
Some here modified the RC05 frame for a cafe build but I doubt that this is really necessary if you only want to go for a straight seat.
Due to the kink in the frame, I would not expect that there exists a straight seat that easily fits.
So one may check out to get an original seat backbone reupholstered or go for a solution similar to this one.

Re: New to the forum with some seat questions.
Hey another question. My dad is getting ready to sell a brand new chain but said he would give it to me. Any idea if this will work 530xs0z1. I don't know anything about chains so any advice would be great.
Re: New to the forum with some seat questions.
I'm looking at motorcycleseatsdirect.com for my current modification. Not decided on it yet though.
Re: New to the forum with some seat questions.
A 530 X-ring chain should be fine for a CB650.
Now count the number of links you need at you old chain.
