Can anyone tell me:
Is the PE400 and RM400 seat base the same? Therefore will the RM seat base fit on my PE without modification? Along with that will a new RM foam fit on my PE base?
-
I think they are different I think vintage suzuki or dc plastics sell pe foam and seatcover a base isn't to hard to come by ebay.com the 250txz is the same as the 400. :)

Do you know if the bases are the same ie the 250TXZ is the same as the PE400 which is the same as the RM400?
-
Seat bases PE 250 /400 T-X * will interchange with RM 250 /400T * * note rear mount brackets are different - can be an easy fix if you are changng seat cover.
-
the pe 250txz is the same as pe 400 identical as are the frames bar numbers and comp. plate.

To use RM400/250 seat you will need the RM fuel tank too. I reckon all you need to do is pop rivet the brackets in different spots on the base. In all the original RM250/400 photos ive seen, the RM, seat foam looks a different shape to the PE. The RM foam looks lower and narrower at the front and the PE foam is more of a square block.
Basically if your missing a seat and trying to find a 400 seat and wondering if RM is the same, well its not, just stick to looking for a PE250/400 seat which would be easier to find than a 79/80 RM seat anyway.
