Will the seat and rear fender off of an L model fit on a standard model? Just bought a 1980 and thinking along those lines

Not sure about the rear fender, but the seat will not fit without MAJOR work. The standard seat hinges to the side, the L seat has a key at the back that releases a latch and then lifts off. And the pan shape is different, too, to match the different frame on the L model.
If all you are after is the stepped-seat look, take it to an upholstery shop, they can usually re-work it for $50 or so.
The fender might be a possibility, but I have never seen a standard model to compare all the hardware at the rear end.

Hmmm, my seat lifts off not hinged, with latch at the back. Not neccesarily looking for stepped seat, just seemws that only L seats are out there for saleComment

Yes, starting in 1980, I think all the 750 seats lifted off. I haven't tried what you are looking to do, the seat won't work, nor will the rear fender. The seat is totally different & the rear frame, on the standard "E" model is much higher, the "L" fender would almost fit under the "E" frame.1983 GS1100E, 1983 CB1100F, 1991 GSX1100G, 1996 Kaw.
