It's the true OEM seat fitted on non US models.
I provided the original seat cover to the guys in Thailand in order for them to reproduce it.sigpicJohn Kat

I've always wanted a GS1000S - since I saw one in the flesh about 1983...I nearly bought a road-going blue and white GS1000S a few years ago but my employment was uncertain and I didn't follow through.
I'm in two minds about restoring my GS or leave it with the lovely aged patina it has.
About me - former educator who became disenchanted with teaching after 20 odd years (High School/TAFE and Uni)- I resigned and went back to being a signwriter.
I have 2 Yamaha TX750s, 2 Yamaha XJ650Ts, a couple of XJs - 650 & 900 and 3 more TX750s in pieces, a TL125 and now the GS1000S.
Looking forward to speaking with all you guys in the near future.
Cheers!Last edited by Guest; 12-12-2015, 08:38 PM.

I'm thinking these same thing, a buddy of mine has the bike at the moment - he's given the bike a good look over and has asked me to get some replacement parts.
First up is the rear upper mudguard section - sits under the ducktail and the rear indicators bolt into it - Part number #363113-49000-291....mine is busted, looks like a rock went through it. I ask if anyone has a lead on this part, anywhere - I'll pay for it and shipping to Australia. Secondly would be a taillight lense/unit to suit, this is confusing as there are many part numbers for the same lense..?20151128_091342 - Copy.jpg

Good evening, I've been busy tracking down parts suppliers during evening hours and have had some positive results so far...
I found a business in Victoria Australia who stock parts at a realistic prices - I bought 4 needle/seat sets from them yesterday for the GS1000S - cheap as (AU$13.50 each plus AU$7.90 postage for Australia). Communication is excellent - site uses 'PayPal' and is no fuss in every way.
Look for this part number KYV-83023 at $13.50 each.
Copy and paste this - http://www.motorcyclespareswarehouse.com.au/
Next up was the fuel bowl gaskets - made even harder because of the unique carbies for the 1980 model - I came upon "Mick Hone Suzuki" in Victoria - I emailed then about the fuel bowl gaskets and they assured me that they would have them to me - just go ahead and make the sale on their page, so I did. No problem at all with the Legend Mick Hone responding with info and suggestions for GS1000S parts. A true gentleman in every way.
When you arrive at Mick's website, just type in 13251-49120. These are the correct gaskets so I'm told - I sent a scanned image of correct gasket to Mick before I bought 4 more - they're on their way north now.
Next up is the seat cover - I believe that a manufacturer in Thailand makes excellent versions, is this true..?
Cheers..

The reason for the differing part numbers for the light/lens is that Suzuki had to supply very slightly different units to countries in order to comply with variations in lighting regulations. Suzuki used a code to identify the regions/countries, but I don't know the exact code for Oz. I expect one of your dealers would know.
For Thai seat covers, search 'Pit replica' on here to get some reviews.1980 GS550ET
