GS850G missing seat

[Redman]

Parts fische like Steve suggested is good idea.

Other idea would be to get a bad condition seat from ebay, vynal ripped up, pan rusted, as long as it has the hardware you need. Still might be 60-70 bucks.
Any 82&after bigger G will do. (even a GK, mounting is same).

I had occassion to have seat off last night, did take some photos of seat underside and the mounting points on the bike.
CAn send them to you later.

Redman,

Thanks for that, I got your email, please send the pictures when you get a chance.

I've been looking for months on ebay over here for a seat, some early ones but none of the right age for my requirements.

Wemoto = £156 for new seat & I can buy the fittings in the UK once I know exactly what I need.

Thanks for your assistance.

Greg.

Oh... Scotland. (I should have noticed that sooner.) Guess I do not know how much you can find on ebay there.

Photos sent this afternoon.

THis...?
Looks nice, looks stock.
Does look like seat pan and cushion and cover.
(I was wondering if for that price it was just a replacement cover,. But then again I dont know what the exchange rate is.)

That's the part.

It works out at about $196.

There was some debate with them about the seat base as they told me that the seats they list cover all years of GS850G and are all hinged.

After some discussion and sending them pictures of the bike frame mounts and seat locking mechanism, they confirmed that their supplier would be able to make the seat that I require.

Until it arrives, I don't know if it has all the fittings supplied or if I will need to buy them.

I'll post some pictures and further information in about four weeks (estimated delivery time).

Cheers,

Greg.

Hi 520eek,

I've managed to get a new seat made and I have obtained all the fittings apart from the front bracket that clips into the frame, do you have one and if so would you be interested in selling it?

Cheers,

Greg.

I have a complete seat assy that I removed from my bike when I hacked sub frame and put solo seat on. You interested still?
