Hi,
Why do you want to change seats? If your seat pan is good you can fix the foam and recover it any way you want.
I'm guessing that the '83 650G seats might fit. I doubt the earlier ones will fit because a few things changed between the '81 and '82 model years.
Normally you would compare part numbers. If you go to alpha-sports.com, look up the part number for your seat, then plug that number into their "Special Tools", "Parts Finder:All" menu at the top of the page, you will get a list of all the bikes that part number is used on.
Thank you for your indulgence,
BassCliff

Thanks for the info.
My seat pan is badly rusted. No foam at all. No cover. The shop told the PO that it couldn't be covered. That's what he told me any way. I may attempt it myself just to give me something to park my butt on.
The local junk yard wants $150.
It doesn't hurt my feelings they don't have one.I wanted to know the interchange in case I find something on ebay,,or where ever. Thanks again.
$150? wow,I hope they'd throw in the rest of the bike-if they had it! Take some measurements- I can tell you if my 81 "L" seat would work, so you could go trolling on ebay.Thanks for the info.

I actually used the seat from my old 82 550L model on my 82 1100 L model while my 1100 seat was being rebuilt. It was a bit smaller but locked right in place.
I have a hard time thinking that rust would keep them from rebuilding your seat. It will cost a bit more to remove the rust but it is not that big of a job.
I am having my seat completely rebuilt from the pan up right now and it should cost around $200 when they are done.
