aftermarket seats ?

[JG122]

does anyone (like Corbin, or Sargent) make replacements ?

'83 GS 450 here...

did a quick google search, couldn't come up with anything

Do a search here on seat covers; you'll find many threads talking about Sargents, Saddlemen, and a place called Pit Replica.

As far as actual seat pans go, I'm not really positive. Is yours rusted through?

Yes that's the question Scott...

JG122, are you looking for a new seat pan and everything or are you just wanting to change the seat shape?

If it's just the shape, either do it yourself or go see an upholsterer that does motorcycle seats... I did a bit of both on mine. I shaped the foam myself and got an upholsterer to cover it for me.

thanks guys, yes -- the seat pan is ok, I'm just looking to change the shape (and a new cover as a result)...

What happens if the pan is bad? Mine is not completely gone but has some rust holes in it and is missing a lug I think...

All depends on how bad is bad... mine had a couple of minor holes and most of the spikes to mount the cover rusted off, but I used rust converter on it and painted it and it's solid now.
