    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 recently purchased a 79 GS1000. I believe it is an E model. I didn`t get a complete seat with the bike only the rusted out seat pan. Does anyone know which seats from other models or years will fit my bike. Thanks for the help.
 
Not much help around here lately. Everyone's out riding except us with busted bikes. Guess the help will return in the winter.

:oops:

I'm pretty sure that the 78 model year will fit as well. I've seen some ebay buys that say that a seat from a 750 will fit a 1000 but I'm a bit dubious.

Try calling your local dealer, they may have an answer. Sorry I couldn't me of more help.

Seats across 78-80 are compatible. I believe that the 750 and 850 are compatible with the 1000 since they use the same frame. Across models they are NOT! G model seat will not fit an E model seat and vice versa. I learned the hard way.....

Also, the 80 gs1000e seat has an under seat piece of plastic molding/fairing matching the body....not sure if previous years had that or not. The 78 seat I believe is almost totally flat whereas some of the the 79 seats and all of the 80 seats are slightly stepped up in the back (except for the S model I think). Some....but not all. Not 100% on that. Also, the 78 didn't have that built in grab bar found on the 79 and 80 I think.

Check www.suzukicycles.org for a few pics. Good luck!
 
I just finish purchasing a great seat from a member here . It was from a 750L I have a 1100L . Match made in heaven :D Just make sure the measurements are the same or reallllly close 8O
 
Thanks for the help guys. Maybe I`ll find a replacement soon.
