750 SF dual seat cover

OK, I have been looking online at a few dual seat covers for a 750 SF but there seems to be three different sizes for the SF1,2,3.

I supposedly have a 750 SF1 seat base. Dual seat with small rear hump.

Overall length is 640mm

Width at widest point is 270mm

Fittings correspond with my 1972(73 ?) and 1974 GT frames.

So, will a standard SF1 seat cover fit this base ?

Cheers,

Rob
 
Hi Rob
I noticed you had not had a reply from the forum.
Have you since found your answer ?
I don't possess an SF, but I'm restoring an early GT currently.
Hopefully someone more knowledgeable than me will respond to your question....

Hi David,

I never worked that one out.

Not sure if the sizes given by the overseas cover maker were just made up labels.

However, I have a metal base dual seat with tatty cover on its way from Germany at the moment.

I figured that was the best way to get a new cover and foam made than just start with a fibreglass base and some photos.

Cheers,

Rob
 
I'm not 100% sure but I thought the 750 seat bases were fiberglass. I have a 750 single seat with glove box that my new SF2 came with and it's fiberglass. The twin seat I later brought I'm fairly certain was also fiberglass. Not that it has anything to do with seat covers.
 
If you are half-way handy or have "vee uvva harf" with sewing skills etc an SF seat is a piece of piss to make, only 3 pieces. Get some nice vinyl and you assemble it inside out, mark it with pens for the seams then staple or pin it for sewing. Knock it over in a couple of evenings. I have done it several times for numerous bikes and get my wife to sew it (so I can blame her if the seam isn?t perfect  ;)
Maybe youtube have some flicks?
If you want rivet perfect it?ll have to be proff for the logo etc.

Not quite yet Lee but about to be, next job on the to do list. I'll also be sewing the seat cover together too :D
 
I have an SF2 single seat, fibreglass with the storage box in the hump. It was on my 1973 GT without a key so I destroyed the lock to find an original Laverda toolkit inside.

I have a dual seat fibreglass base with small hump at rear.

I now have a rough but complete dual seat with steel base and the strap, no hump. It weighs a ton and cost a fortune in postage from Germany. Perfect for my GT.

Clark Rubber in Melbourne stocks good quality foam for seat rebuilds.

I still have to locate a source for the trims which are never supplied with replacement covers.

Cheers,

I'm off to Perth next week and Clark Rubber was on my list to hopefully source foam.
As for the vinyl, I'll probably see what's available on the net. Might even go leather, touch classy! 8)

cheers

Eldorado in South Oz can do just the cover, or the whole seat if you need it. Brilliant work.
