January 1, 200718 yr Moderator hello all..... does any one have or know of someone that has an original seat trim including pins and clips (only fitted to rd250c and 400c) 1976 ish ? ? I made my own using B&Q alloy channel. Bashed over and dremeled open the slit so could slide in ground down stainless flange button socket screws. They look the business and cost £4 each side and the alloy doesn't rot and its easy to shape the ends to the correct profile!!

No! as i have a 4 stroke xs400. the strips are similar to the xs though. I have added a few pics of what i did, and i could scan the ends for you if you like an PM you? have you tried PGM yamaha? this is the back of the strip although I have flattened them a bit more later these are a comparison with an original got the screws from here. Just ground down the head flat to the washer and use as template to judge the gap of the strip http://www.a2a4.co.uk/acatalog/FLANGE_BUTT...SCREWS_A_2.html
