'82 GS1100G - SOLD

I will give you a fer-sure, guaranteed answer, no.
Can it be made to fit? Probably, but you would not want to use it when it's done.

what is different from the gx & gl?Comment

probably the shape, size, mounting tabs, foam, cover, pan, ect...
The Ls have a whole different design, I did fit an aftermarket 850 foam and cover on my 650 pan, but both where for "L" Models and it was only a few inches too long but works.Comment

You would have a lot of work cut out for you to make either seat interchange.
The L model seat mounts through slots on the right side of the frame and latch on the left.:
The E, C, G and whatever else models, mount on the left side of the frame and latch on the right:

Hi,
Have a look in the gallery.
850GL
850G
I've noticed a "G" or two in the gallery that were mis-identified as "GL" models. The "L" models have the seats with a large step. They do not interchange with other "E" or "G" seats unless they are modified. And who would want to do that?
Thank you for your indulgence,
