2 suggestions
PM Jethro--Geoff for his seatcovering write up.
It may be on his web site, geoffreysworld ?
Or find a local upholstery shop and ask.
I had a seat re-foamed, not covered by a local guy that does
custom interiors, hot rods etc.for cheap.Keith

I would just recover it, but I want to put in all new foam as well because the foam in there now has been exposed to the elements.
Thanks
*EDIT* I just looked at that link and I guess it comes with a 1in. foam pad along with the cover to hid the damaged foam. Interesting...I will research this further. Also, to make sure I don't have a different seat or anything, the picture I am including is my 1982 650G. That is a 650G (or GZ I guess), seat correct?

When I bought my Suzi in 2013, I was told the seat had recently been recovered (it certainly looked like new). I wasn't very surprised that an unskilled DIYer could do it, I was more surprised that exact replicas of an '82-'83 seat were available.1982 GS1100E V&H "SS" exhaust, APE pods, 1150 oil cooler, 140 speedo, 99.3 rear wheel HP, black engine, '83 red
2016 XL883L sigpic Two-tone blue and white. Almost 42 hp! Status: destroyed, now owned by the insurance company. The hole in my memory starts an hour before the accident and ends 24 hours after.
