Seat Handle

#1 Post by silverstrom » Tue Jan 31, 2017 11:05 pm

Had this show up at my door today :smt003

The -98 in the part # is low gloss black. My parts list has the part number without the -98. Anyone know which market this is intended for?

What`s the standard version? Chrome?
I only know this part with low gloss black paint.
My bikes:
RD500 YPVS 1GE
RD350 YPVS 31K 1985
Honda CBR 1000 RR SC57
Yamaha R1 RN04

Hi,

I've got one of those as well - the original on my 84 47X is quite a bit glossier - I would call the original a low gloss black rather than satin black.

Cheers
Paul

Thanks Philippe. That is the 1986 RZ500S parts list. The rare Canada only model (150 bikes)

The handles for my bikes (47X and 1 GE) are both gloss black, maybe closer to semi-gloss. Not over shiny, but not low gloss like this new -98 one.
