    Seats interchangable?

    Seats interchangable between GS750 and GS850?

    I was pursuing my local want ads and noticed a stock GS750 seat for sale. I was thinking I would buy a new seat cover and repair my existing seat, but it the 750 seat will match up with GS 850, this would be a simple solution and I will simply go buy this seat. Anyone know if GS 750 and GS 850 seats are interchangeable ? Thx.

    I just picked up this 1979 GS850 a week ago as a non running bike. I now have it running after a tank, carb, petcock cleaning. I really don't like the seat appearance, but I must say it is comfy. I have a couple of issues to resolve, right side turn signals aren't working and starter only has a solenoid click. I'll chase these problems down as my next fixee tasks.

      I know the tank from them are interchangeable, but I'm not sure about the seat as they do have a different style tail cowl. I'd just get a cover from Pitreplica.com and have a professional reshape the seat foam back to what it's suppose to be or do it yourself if you have an electric turkey carver. This is what it should look like.

        Ok, good advice, what about the bottom trim styles as noted on the picture you included. My bike does not have them, are they hard to find?

          That I do not know. Surprisingly some things for these old bikes are still available. Check your favorite Suzuki parts supplier or eBay.
