GT550 Seat

[Guest]

I would like to use a different seat on my 78 GS1000 and a local yard has a 72 GT550 that is mostly rot. I was thinking of using the seat frame as a platform to build a custom seat. Does anyone know anything about something along these lines? I would sort of like to keep my original seat in case my wife wants to go for a ride one day. If I had two, it wouldn't be hard to swap out. I apologize to the GS purists but they are hideous from the rider back... IMO. There is also 2 GS550's in the same yard. Maybe getting one of those & cutting & hacking away at it would be a smarter option. I think they are mid-late 70s bikes too.
Thanks.

Your easiest route would be to get another original pan or use your existing one to make a fibreglass mold. Any other seat I've seen has been so far different you might as well start from scratch.
