The pan says it is for 81-82 gs750 and gs1000. I was unaware they are the same seat, but I doubt that has any bearing on finding a replacement cover.

Saddleman Seat
So I have an old saddleman seat that was in an accident. It is torn on one side, but not too bad. There are a few other cracks and tears at the seams, but it is still a very good seat. I was wondering if anyone knew where I can get an original cover for it to replace the torn one.

Saddleman does list a replacement part number. { click on Suzuki } Looks like the suggested list is either $90 or $108. You just need one of their dealers to order for you.....

Thank you, but that is for a stock replacement cover. My seat is very different from stock. It actually looks more like a solo seat.

And, ... that seat in the picture does not look like anything that Saddlemen offered.
I think someone has take a Saddlemen cover and re-done it.

Sorry to bring up the aftermarket issue after the fact. The seat pan has a saddlemen label on it. I will get a couple pics and put them up here. It may just be a saddlemen pan.

Saddles used to make "touring bucket" style seats for many bikes. I had one on my '77 Yam XS750. Yours is probably in that category. The do not sell replacement covers for them. They will recover it, for a charge, but you'd probably be faster & cheaper if you went local.

Well, I'm a dumbass. Took a look last night since I have been working on other projects, and found the reason I can't figure this out.
It is a Mustang seat. Part number 3-711E for 80-81 GS1000E or 80-82 GS750E. So the search starts all over...

Have you tried e-mailing Saddleman and asking if they have a replacement cover ? I suspect the most economic solution though is to have a local maker recover the seat. Maybe someone could recommend a maker in your area....Old age and treachery will beat youth and skill every time1983 GS 750
