Replace '82 550L seat with ...???

[Guest]

Is there a cross-reference anywhere that can help identify what non-L seats might fit on an '82 550L?

Tanner want's to go "semi-cafe" without cutting anything off the bike, and de-humping the 550L seat will not work because the seat pan is, itself, humped. The main thing is to get a flatter seat - a cafe-style seat with cowl would be great, but probably too much $$$.

The bills for this bike are mounting, and an inexpensive solution is much preferred.

Believe it or not, you already have that cross-reference.

Really.

Hold out your hand, look at it. THAT is the list.

The only seat that will fit a 550L is one from another 550L. If you want a flatter seat, you will have to take your 550L pan and build the seat you want on top of it, then have it covered at the upholstery shop, unless you can to that kind of work yourself.
