Is there any compatible single seats that will fit a 1980 GS850L? Or does anyone know of a way to improvise a single seat? Thank You.

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.

My suggestion would be to take the seatpan to a motorcycle seat recoverer and ask for a rework. You'll get the look you're after with a 'caf? bump' or ducktail at the rear, especially if its done in a colour that will match the bodywork.

i cant say ive seen anything directly bolt up but if you really search ebay, things appear. but re working the seat is best. i have noticed many other makes/brands of seats share similar widths and sometimes aftermarket components and single saddles are easier to find for other bikes that arnt suzuki. but your obviously required to modify mounting points

I cut the back half of my frame off, rewelded a support beam to either side connecting. Bought a solo seat mount for 35$ out of old bike barn(bob and chop section) drilled holed in the middle cross member behinde air box. Attached seat mount. Bout a HD tan leather seat off eBay for 50$, 3in springs(also from OBB) and made my own. Great choice I've made with the bike. Absolutely love it.
Also had two 9.5in "struts" made at a local machine shop for 80$ and lowered the rear down. Love the bobber look it has now. Completely different machine now.
