750 seat on a 550?

Will a touring seat off of a 78 750 fit on a 78 550?

I put my 82 550L seat on my 1100L seat while my 1100 seat was being rebuilt, fit fine.

One of my concerns is that my lock is on the right side on the bike and I know that some seats, it's on the rear and actually on the seat itself.

Ahh, I would definitely look at the seats in that case. I don't know the 78's that well, Mine were both the same year and had the same locking mechanisms (just about 1/4 inch difference in their mounting location that was overcome with loosening up both the seat and the bike sides a bit and moving them.)

Good luck.

Ok, better yet, does anyone know what seats from what year and bikes will fit on mine? I don't like the touring seats. I like the stock gs550 bike seat. Or maybe know a place that I can get an aftermarket seat (pan and all) for not an insane amount?
