    Wes Cooley replica seat

    I was lucky to find this Wes Cooley replica seat on e-bay UK
    Apparently, it was manufactured in the USA but I don't know what brand it is?
    The condition is not very good but as the base is made out of plastic, a simple reupholstering should bring it back to new
    It surely transforms the bike with it on!

      John,

      I'm not sure what you mean by a Cooley replica

      The actual 1000 S models have a flat seat

      The yoshimura bike has a thinner seat with a square rise

      Not a bad looking seat, tho
      1978 GS 1000 (since new)
      1979 GS 1000 (The Fridge, superbike replica project)
      1978 GS 1000 (parts)
      1981 GS 850 (anyone want a project?)
      1981 GPZ 550 (backroad screamer)
      1970 450 Mk IIID (THUMP!)
      2007 DRz 400S
      1999 ATK 490ES
      1994 DR 350SES

          I meant a replica of the type of seat used by Wes Cooley on his racing bike
          In fact the production models came with two different types of seats.
          The flat one as you mention came on the GS 1000 SN ( 1979) and a stepped one on the GS 1000 ST ( 1980) at least in Europe.
          The stepped seat is different to the one on the GS 1000 C/EC.
          Here are some pics of those seats.
          First my GS 1000 ST

          My GS 1000 XP with the flat seat

                This is definitely a GS 1000 ST with the rear set footpegs.
                It's a US only model because it has the CV carbs and the color scheme is identical to the GS 1000 SN.
                The seat pattern is also most probably a US only model?
                It looks horrible to me

                    This is a copy of the Giuliary seat.
                    It doesn't replicate the Wes Cooley look and....it's only the seat cover
                    The problem these days is to find a proper seat base that's not rusted through and through!
