    1983 GS 450L-Help

    I recently bought a 1983 GS 450L. I got it for $850 it is in PRISTINE condition. The only downside I have is I'm a bit too tall for the bike. The bike has the passenger seat bump in the rear. I was wondering if anyone knows a seat or seat pan that is compatible with the 83 GS450L that Doesn't have the bump or is a single seat that sits further back from the handle bars. I can always get the foam cut and reupholstered but I'd like that to be my plan B.
    Suggestions?

    Hornswaggle on here swapped a T seat for an L seat, so the reverse should work I would imagine. I think the T seat is a little less bulky...

    The only thing is his is an 80 or 81 and the 83's are quite different, so I don't know if that will still be a straight swap or not.

      Get rid of the buckhorn bars and you won't be seated so far back.
