GS650GL Project

[2Wheel]

I'm in the process of re-building an '83 and am in need of a seat. Does anyone know of a resource for used, cheap seats (under a 100 bucks). Also, will some of the other size bikes, say a GS550 seat fit a 650?

The 650 has some unique design issues and you may have a hard time adapting a seat from any other model to it. In the 3 years I've been dealing with my 650, I have yet to find a really cheap source for seats. Seat PANS in terrible shape are selling for close to $100, and if you can find a complete seat in excellent condition, plan on losing $200-$300 out of your wallet.

A note about EBay. Make sure you really look at seats being posted. I've seen a number identified as "GS650" but are really from Yamahas, Hondas, etc. There is a particular Seca seat for which the seller has refused to change the description despite being informed of the issue.

Let us know if you do happen to find a reliable and inexpensive source.

Good luck with your search.
