February 25, 201313 yr Can I fit a later model (76-77) seat and fender on my 1974 TY250 ? My seat base is pretty beat up and I like the look of the later ones.
February 25, 201313 yr yes but you will need to add seat mounting lugs to the A model frame. I can do a photo if you want Edited February 25, 201313 yr by feetupfun
February 25, 201313 yr It's not raining so I can get to my shed and take photos These are photos of later model TY250 frames showing the seat mounting lugs. The photo showing the RH side of a frame is of a D model and the one showing the LH side seat mount is of a C model. The inner surfaces of the lugs are flush with the inner edges of the frame tubing
February 25, 201313 yr If you contact John at trail and trials uk, he has some origional seats with the yellow base.
February 26, 201313 yr Author OK majesty320,I might do that just to see what they cost.I think that I like the looks of the C or D models a little better,but there is an A model on ebay (US) right now and it is a really nice looking bike! Thank you for the pics feetupfun.Does the C and D model have a different style airbox? It looks like those lugs would maybe be in the way for the A model airbox? Thanks again ! Cheers, Scot
February 26, 201313 yr The shape and location of the AB and DE airboxes is the same, but the lids are slightly different because the CD models breathe through a slot in the lid. Nothing that will cause a problem with the seat screws.
