    Seat inquiry!

    So my project GS1000 has a seat pan and a correct foam/cover combo. None are attached to anything, and this is my problem. To my frame is attached the locking mechanism (matches my ignition key ), as well as the hinges. While drilled for it, the seat pan does not have the corresponding latch-hook nor hinge connectors. Here are some pictures:

    The Seat

    As you can tell, I have no idea what the proper names for these parts are, and these small, random parts are hard to find. Does anyone out there know where to look? Does anyone have any to sell?!

    One the hinge system is properly in place, I'm going to bring it in to an upholsterer to get the cover properly attached. I'm in the Seattle area. Does anyone have a good reference for an upholsterer?

    Thanks!!

    A bit hard to tell but it kind of looks like a Giuliari aftermarket seat. You just need the corresponding seat latch and hinges that attach to the seat pan. I'll have those. Send me a PM with some shipping info.

      I would guess that, with that fiberglass pan, you will need to have some sort of backing plate to brace the hinges, along with the nuts for the bolts. that hold the hinge and backing plate together.
