I dont have a foam either Steve. I dont care if i can get a flat or stepped seat. Heck even a good pan and foam would do. can always get a pit replica coverMY BIKES..1977 GS 750 B, 1978 GS 1000 C (X2)

I thought, by the pictures I saw, they looked pretty dang good, even have both for standard and "E" models and hand rail available if needed. It's amazing how many folks looking for some of these older bike seats, and nobody around here has ever tried one of them... Chuck, here's your chance, you can find out for yourself plus for all the GSR folks if these are a legit option. ..Come on Chuck, we'd hate to see you miss this huge opportunity !!1983 GS1100E, 1983 CB1100F, 1991 GSX1100G, 1996 Kaw.

Actually looks too good to be true, it says... This is a complete seat with cover, foam, and seat pan. Mat pan: metal and powder coated with black paint, same dimensions as stock seat. direct fit without any modifications1983 GS1100E, 1983 CB1100F, 1991 GSX1100G, 1996 Kaw.

I like it on my GS1100GL. Not the most comfortable but I can ride 150 or so miles without problems. The seat is very well made and fit perfect. I was very surprised.
