Lug Nut Posted May 3, 2016 Share #1 Posted May 3, 2016 Mine needs recovered and in figured it would be easier/cheaper to buy a nice take off. This has the tab that sticks out of the bottom that goes in the seat latch (different from my Roadstar and Venture). If you have one you want to sell please email me at sbojrab@comcast.net Also, I removed ALL the saddlebags/bracketry, passenger floor boards, and windshield and passenger seat and backrest w/pad etc from my bike. All in very good shape. I am making this an in town cruiser bike. If anyone needs these parts email me and I'll send some pics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToyOdie Posted May 4, 2016 Share #2 Posted May 4, 2016 Search eBay for "Royal Star Seat" in parts and accessories. I found NOS one for $75. Then I sent it to Rick Butler and had it modded. Well worth every penny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lug Nut Posted May 4, 2016 Author Share #3 Posted May 4, 2016 I looked on eBay and Craigslist and there are very few that might fit my bike unfortunately my 1998 has an odd way of attaching with a tab that juts out the bottom. I had Rick do modifications to my 02 Royal Star Venture midnight seat and it is very nice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToyOdie Posted May 5, 2016 Share #4 Posted May 5, 2016 The 1996 to 1999 RSTC have the same drivers seat. There is a bracket at the front attached to the lower tank mount. A tab on the seat pan slides into it to secure the front of the seat. At the back of the seat pan is an "L" bracket with a hole for the lock latch. The bracket is held on by two bolts and can be moved to the new seat. Here are 3 that I found that should work. http://www.ebay.com/itm/YAMAHA-ROYAL-STAR-SEAT-/331749825471?hash=item4d3dd49bbf:g:eGQAAOSwa-dWkC6F&vxp=mtr http://www.ebay.com/itm/YAMAHA-ROYAL-STAR-XVZ1300-XVZ-1300-FRONT-SEAT-SADDLE-/200398199521?hash=item2ea8a9dae1:m:mW2s6-5KKDTQK8wuFEUOl6A&vxp=mtr http://www.ebay.com/itm/Seat-OEM-Yamaha-XVZ1300-XVZ-1300-RoyalStar-Royal-Star-Black-/191841954002?hash=item2caaabe8d2:g:buwAAOSwnTJXAoW1&vxp=mtr Here is a link to the breakdown for the 1998. You can check 96-99. They all have the same OEM part number for the seat. http://www.partshark.com/oemparts/a/yam/50043ec3f8700209bc78df12/seat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
