BMW /5 Series Short Wheel Base SWB (70-73) replica seat cover + foam repair kit
FlatRacer BMW R2v Airhead Boxer /5 Series Short Wheel Base SWB (70-73) replica seat cover + foam repair kit
This sale includes:
- 1 x FlatRacer BMW /5 SWB replica fluted black vinyl seat cover with white piping
- 1 x FlatRacer BMW /5 SWB replacement replica seat foam
This kit includes a heavy duty black vinyl replacement seat cover, the fluted pattern type with white piping seen on the earlier BMW /5 Series with short wheel base frames (aka SWB).
The kit also includes a replacement seat foam, which is an accurate replica of the original BMW item, with the correct density (not too hard, not too soft) for comfort, especially on long journeys.
Fits all the BMW /5 Series models with short wheel base frame (SWB), made between 1970-1973.
To distinguish your frame is quite easy, open your seat and look at your sub-frame.
1 - If you have a single centre brace tube (with the lock plate welded to it), you have a SWB.
2 - If you have a sub-frame with two centre brace tubes circa 2" apart, you have the LWB type.
Very useful kit that allows you to restore the original seat, keeping your bike's authenticity.
Separate seat cover and complete seats are also available, please check our other listings.
IMPORTANT:
Fitting these seat foams and covers requires a certain degree of knowledge and skill.
If you are not comfortable with this type of work, we would suggest entrusting the job to a competent local trimmer to you, versed in motorcycle seat repair work.
