My bike is a 1979 GS1000S. The seat has been modified, and I'd like one closer to stock. this one seems to fit the bill. The ad says it's from a GS850G/GS1000G.

Thanks!

No pictures of the underside of the seat, still might this be of some help?

you can always ask for more pictures.

Yes, I saw that, and I would love to get the original, flat seat, but they don't appear as often as the stepped seats. this "G" seat looks flatter than the "E" stepped seat.

Thanks.

The 1000S seat cover looks very, very close to my '80 G seat.
the only thing I question, is the shape and dimensions of the seat pan. maybe you can get someone to snap a picture of that "S" seat and I can measure mine...

I guess I should explain. I cannot view many of the pictures. Photobucket and some other sites are blocked at my current location. I will have to look again tonight.

It won't work. The 78/79 pan is different to the 850/1000G pan.

It's not even close enough that you could "adjust" it

That is the seat I have on my 78' GS1000E.

Not unless you can fabricate and weld..

It looks the same... but it aint! The front corners on the 78/79 are much sharper & the pan is much flatter..... Buy it if you want but it won't fit

I've been here from experience... luckily I managed to turn round the mistake I bought on Ebay & break even...

I was looking at the pattern on the upholstery, not being able to see more detail. Now that you mention it, it does look like it is curved up from front to back. Mine is as flat as the skirting on the bottom of the pan that is missing on that seat. It must just share the same upholstery.

The seat hinges are located in different places also

Thanks, all.

What one do you have on your S now... Maybe you can convince me to trade the one off my 78 which is actually off a 791000E.

I've been looking for a low profile one which it seems you may have looking at that tiny pic in your profile....
