Pretty sure the number on the bottom is 456? Is there anything for that?
I blew up the photo for a better look, and I see you're correct. The number 456 indicates the seat is for a '73 CL350 scrambler. The info I've given you, based on the model code number 456 printed on the seat bottom, positively identifies what model it is for. No guessing. And no, it won't even come close to fitting your bike.

Part # = 77200-456-670A
Part Description = SEAT ASSEMBLY *NH1L*
Model Count = 1
CL350-K5 1973 350 Scrambler 350 Dual Sport


Does the seat on this '73 CL350 look familiar? See those steel buttons along the lower edge of the vinyl? This is the seat you have. That guy who assured you it came from a 500 four doesn't have a clue.

First thing I did was to check your video to make sure your bike isn't actually a '71. And it isn't. In that case, that seat from David Silver should fit your bike. But just so you're aware, it's an aftermarket reproduction seat. It doesn't appear to have the document holder on the seat pan that a Genuine Honda '72 seat would have. Otherwise, it should work okay. You'll also need the seat lock bar assembly with all hardware and the seat hinge assembly with all of its hardware. Silver's picture shows it doesn't come with any of that stuff.

I know it doesn't come with any of that. I am reusing the hardware from the old seat.

Looks right and check the model code 323 with your honda dealer. A safer bet would be the David Silver Seat.
