Neither of those is a V7Sport seat. The first one is at least mounted to the frame properly but what's going on with the one on the silver bike? This is an original 44 year-old seat.
1972 V7Sport. Owned by me since 1978.
1972 V7 700cc ex Vigili del Fuoco?
1954 BSA M33 500cc.
1952(?) SuperAlce. Currently testing my patience.

This looks like a 850T fender and a sport seat. Thoughts?



That looks like 1000S seat and if that person needs some cash, it will fetch a pretty good penny on eBay,etc.

If you are still running chrome bores , i would not make the bike "prettier" before addressed the real engine issue.
A new seat/gas tank wont get you home.....gilardonis , yes.

just an advice , do what you please with your machine.. cheers

In the second picture I just laid a V7 seat on the bike to see if it would fit. It almost looks like it will.
