85 RZ350C SEAT

#1 Post by Bald Anthony » Fri Feb 16, 2018 10:56 am

Will the newer RZ/RD seats from a 86,87,88 and so forth fit the 1984/1985 U.S RZ350C bikes? I'm looking for the seats that go higher up the tank than the U.S issued seats. What are the part or model numbers for these seats?

Thanks,


BA

They will not. I have the 88. I have a friend who has the 84. They are not interchangeable without changing the tank as well.

Either tank can fit on either bike, but requires frame modifications. Best to have both to compare. Certainly not worth it though. As mentioned, the different seats belong with the appropriate tank. The FII tanks are shorter, and seats are longer than the previous generation FI.
