        seat

        I made my seat using thin plywood, surplus foam, vinyl, chrome button nails.
        Buy enough material to make 2 seats, you may need it.
        made seat for $5.

              I dont have a picture.My 80 gs 1000 L i left the orginal length,but cut the step off so it is level.Then had it recovered in black leather.Total 75 dollars.Amazing how much better they look without that step.

                  This is the seat on my "L". I trimmed the foam myself and had it recovered. Seating position is about 1.5" back and 2" lower.

                      It's not what you are looking for, but you asked for pictures. :shock:

                      My wife's '82 850L is set up for long-distance comfort and has the Travelcade Easy Chair. VERY comfortable. In fact, after riding all day on my Wing with a Corbin saddle, I find her saddle to be more comfortable than mine. \\/

                            This is the saddle for my project bike. It is about 5" short since I am moving the tail inward. Base is made from 1/4" ABS plastic and I formed the underside of the rear from fiberglass to match the tail shape. I didn't cover it myself though. I paid a guy to do that.
                            Sorry the pic is so big
