What is this Seat off of???

[Guest]

When I got my first GS, I made the assumption that the seat was stock. This is a 1979 GS750 with wires. Can anyone tell me if this is a stock seat. I've looked at hundreds of pics of the 79 but have yet to find this seat on anything. HELP??? :???:
Thank you in advance,

That is not a stock seat, appears to have been customized, or an aftermarket.

Kinda what I thought. I don't like the seat. It for sure is overkill. It is not as comfortable for me as the stock seat on the 850 I have.
Thanks for the info.

Look underneath it. I couldn't figure out what mine was, then I saw a big "H" and a "2" in the pan. Mine's a "Hang 2 touring seat". Apparently big in the early 80's??

Man, If I hadn't just bought another seat, I'd say sell me that one... kinda like the looks of it!

If you're planning on replacing your seat with a stock seat, the "E" model seats were a little nicer & more comfortable than the standard model seats. They had a little more cushion, a slight step up between the front & rear, & a little nicer cover.

Glad I could help.

The good thing about them is the comfy front seat. I hated the butt bucket back seat. So I undid the cover, cut down the foam and gave it a superbike kinda seat. You might need to add a bit.

Yes, I will need to do something like that if I keep the seat. If you get a chance, I'd like to see a picture of what you did, appreciate.

Anyone know where I can get a seat like that for my '81 gs750e?
