    GS850 seat on GS750

    There is a guy in my area with a "mint" GS850G seat for sale. Would this fit on my GS750B? Is the plastic tail piece on the 850 the same as the 750 or wider? If I bought the 850 seat and tail piece could I fit it to my 750?

    Thanks in advance

    if the 850 is 79 and newer and the 750B is a 77 i know the tail pieces are a bit different in shape. Sorry i don't know if it will fit though.

      OK to answer my own question; I went over and looked and besides the "mint" seat being a POS it would not have fit my 750. The hinge and latch locations are different.

      Is it possible to get new foam and OEM type cover and recover my existing pan?

        i recovered my seat this spring with a cover from saddlemen. I know there are a few patterns out there.

          Hi,

          Seat cover replacements and foam repair kits are available from many online vendors (Dennis Kirk, JC Whitney, etc). Get a list of our favorite vendors by clicking here.

          I found this information on some guy's website. Maybe it will help.
