    Seat fit????

    Im looking into getting a new seat for my 1982 GS650 GL, I have found a seat that looks good but it is oof of a 1980 GS450. Does anybody know if this will fit properly?

    I would just go with a 1982 seat but honestly they are too bulky for my liking.

    Thanks

    Hi,

    1982 GS650GLZ seat, part# 45100-34402-47G.

    1980 GS450(ET and ST) seat, part# 45100-44112-41G.

    1980 GS450LT seat, part# 45100-44205-40N.

    Different part number means it's not a direct bolt-on replacement. But with the right fabrication skills, just about anything can be made to fit.

    If your current seat pan is in good shape, why not just have it re-cushioned, reshaped, and recovered? A local upholstery shop can probably do it for you. You might even be able to do it yourself.


    Thank you for your indulgence,

      Thanks Bass, I cut my stock seat in half, fabbed a backing, foamed, and upholstered to make it a solo seat.

      I want a saddle seat so my girl can ride with me. The 450 has a thinner look vs. the OEM seat for the 82 ( in my opinion)

      All just a thought for now :P
