    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

I thought I had everything compiled to get after putting this 1981 gs1100e back on the road by spring until yesterday, I'm sure there will still be a surprise or two yet.
I just got my Mac seat cover in the mail so I went out and brought my seat in the garage to pull the old original cover off to just get a quick idea how this new cover would look. I had planned to bead blast and paint the seat pan but when I removed the cover and foam I discovered the pan in much worse shape than I expected. It's pretty rotted along the right side especially towards the nose....bummer.
So I guess I'm on the hunt for a better pan. My question is what other years and models can I look for to broaden my search to find another seat or even just the pan for a 1981 gs1100e?
 
Hi woods,

Good news is you can use a host of seat pans. just a quick search on Partszilla in the suzuki oem section shows the OEM Suzuki part # to be 45100-49X00-48H

Searching that # in ebay shows [FONT=&quot]GS750 1980-82, GS1100 1980-81, SEAT assembly, # 45100-49X00-48[/FONT][FONT=&quot]H. So looks like you can use 750 and 1100 seats.[/FONT]
 
Hmmmm so 80-81 1100E and 80-82 750E are my choices it seems. I was offered up a 81' gs850g seat just now on a FB group so I see that's a no go.
 
Thank you for the input! I see now how different the seats and seat pans are. Darn it.
