I am sorry for putting my reply on the net but direct mail to you
did not work.

Find out if the seat from a 1981 CX500 would fit, if so send me
a reply or call me at work, as my mail did not reach you, yours may
not reach me.  A friend put a custom seat on his 1981 CX500 and the
old one is gathering dust in his attic.
