Hey everybody, I'm looking for a standard seat to put on my 79 special. Anybody want to trade. If not, I really looking for one that needs to be reupholstered anyway, I want to superbike it. Let me know. Thanks, Mike

What do you mean by a "Standard" seat? All the stock XS seats are pretty similar. The '79 seat pan is rather unique, so you may be better off re-covering your exisiting seat pan.1980 XS850SG - Sold
1981 XS1100LH Midnight Special (Sold) - purchased 9/29/08
Fully Vetterized and Dynojet Kit added, Heated Grips, Truck-Lite LED headlight, Accel Coils, Irridium plugs, TKAT Fork Brace, XS850LH Final Drive & Black SS Brake lines from Chacal.

Thanks for the info
I meant one from a non Special. I am more into the early 80's Superbike look, think GS1000S or KZ1000R and I thought it might be easier to reupholster an E or F seat than my FS seat because of the seat pan differences. I had a couple KZ650's back in the day set up like that and loved to ride them except for the fact that I weigh about 240lb and the little Z just didn't have enough adrenaline potential no matter how much I modified it. My new best friend, the mighty XS1100 however should have no such difficulties. I'll post some pics as soon as I figure out how. Mike79 XS1100 "Velvet Hammer"

Because of the uniqueness of the '79 seat pan, you're definitely better off reupholstering your existing seat. The one you have IS nice though.... Not sure why you'd want to change it.1980 XS850SG - Sold
