    Anyone know where to get a nice aftermarket seat?

    Hey all... I have a GS550E 1980 and I'm looking to get a seat with a nice sissy bar for my passenger. Anyone know where to get one or anyone have one for sale?

    Do you have the Pan? Some have had Sargent (sp?) make them one - some have gone to a local upholsterer (sp? again?).


    All depends on if you have the original pan or not?

      Don't worry. That little dog you're holding probably does not need much of a backrest anyway.

            You'll need a rear rack with backrest for a sissy bar. No one makes an intergrated seat/backrest for the GS's. Although Corbin might make one for you using you seat pan for lot's of $$.
