Go to www.mrcycles.com
Check the part numbers for the different years. Will probably fit but check it.
Push down on the rear of the seat while turning the key all the way to the right. You should hear a click. Move the seat up and back - it's fiddly, but you'll get used to it.

+1 CBRclassic - soooooo true !!

When starting it make sure your fuel is ON andthe fuel pump unit is working. After sitting for a long time they dont want to work so good. You may need to tap on it to get it clicking. Mine had set for a year. New battery, starter fluid, fresh gas and a couple taps (screwdriver handle)to the fuel pump.
