Hey, does anyone know what I can do to my L Seat to make it more sleek? It's ugly and bulky. Or is there a different aftermarket seat anyone knows of. Or possibly a different model seat I can swap directly? I can fabricate if I have to move some mounts around to make something fit. Pictures would be awesome. Or links to websites. I used the search button but it didn't really pull much. I like The look of the G seat.

how ugly and bulky? Has it been recovered/repaired somehow? Post a pic
Look at other bikes to find something you can accept- since you can fabricate mounts, you have many choices1981 gs650L

This is awesome. Just what I'm looking for. The guy before me hacked the seat foam up and recovered it and it just looks ugly as sin. I'm hoping I can save it with that mod from that thread. Hoping, I may have to get new seat foam and try again.Originally posted by AMK View PostComment

Darn, with so many daily riders it's hard to decide which one to jump on next.

Make sure if you go flat vinyl again, get it hot and stretch it tight over the foam as you staple it. It looks like PO didn't do that or left the foam rotted and chunky underneath.Comment

This is what I did to my 550L. I shaped the existing seat foam to where I wanted it and sent it to Sargent Cycle products in Jacksonville FL. There they added their Super Cell Atomic foam across the top and covered it with the pattern I liked. A little pricey but it turned out just like I wanted.
