    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.

thanks a lot

It's definitely not an later 1000 seat I don't think... looks like my 78 seat from the side but not from the underneath.

Dan :)
 
Looks like a 77-79 GS550/750 seat. Probably a 78 GS550 due to the aluminum strip at the bottom. Those seats will fit both bikes with a little adjustment of the seat latch. The seat in the picture has obviously been recovered and it looks like a nice job. Dar
 
Early 750 (Pre-1980). I've hand made one of those seatpans. It took me two weeks and I can tell you I know every curve. LOL

They are fairly rare now in good condition. I'd be inclined to sell it if the pan is still good.
 
well

well

the pan is great everything is good on this seat but i would rather trade for a GS1000E seat as i got it as a gift and wouldnt feel right selling and keeping cash if anyone has a seat like that sitting around pm me
 
New GS750 seats are available from suzuki for around $300. New GS1000 seats are not. Just thought I would throw that out there. Dar
 
well

well

i wouldnt be mad to pay some money and the seat if the gs 1000E seat is more expensive or harder to find i would just like to get a new equal quality gs1000E seat out of it somehow lol
thanks again
aaron reid
 
i tried

i tried

i tried posting in the wanted area but after i did it said nothing had been posted in thirty days so if anyone wants to sell or trade a 78GS 1000E seat let me know through pm
