    Will GS250 seat fit GS400?

    Hey guys,

    New to the forum here. Just picked up a 1981 GS400L and it has a terrible "custom" seat on it.

    There's a 1982 GS250 seat on craigslist in good shape, will it fit?

    Hey mate, welcome! The frames on the 250's seem to be pretty different to the 400/425/450's so I'd say it's highly unlikely without modifications.

    Given you have a GS400L... does it have the rectangular end caps on the valve cover? If so, that's the 8 valve motor, so a seat from a 1980 - 1982 GS450L should fit and I believe the seat off the T models of the same vintage are also a direct swap.

    You're still best off checking before buying as I haven't seen any of those models first hand and am going by other's reports.

    Also, stick a g'day thread in the GS Owners section so everyone can say g'day and BassCliff can pass on a ton of incredibly useful info too.

      I have stock 81 450L seat sitting in storage. it has a small tear in it, but I wont ever be able to use it again do to frame mods. I would let it go cheap, but I am not sure about shipping cost

        Define cheap , I want to make my own, but it'll likely look like ****. So starting with the original seat with foam intact is probably the better way to go.
