Sport Seat for 80 XS1100G

[ks80xs]

I'm looking for sport seat that I believe came on the stock 79-81 model Venturer 1100's. It is very low and fairly slim on the front driver seat and the passenger seat is 6" to 8" higher and even slimmer than the driver seat. I've looked on E-bay and looked at several Saddleman seats but can't some to find it. Anyone have any ideas??? I've gotta picture of what I'm looking for but still can't figure out how to attach it.

I think you're looking for the 81H stock seat.

It is a little lower than the others (78-80 standards)

If you've already got a 80-81 standard seat pan then you should be able to find a 'replacement' kit that'll have the padding and cover.

To attach a pic, you have to host it someplace else.

Do you have a stock seat? Your best course of action might be to have the seat made exactly as you wish.

There are many others as well.

George, I'd like to see a side view of your seat but that seat appears to be exactly what I'm looking for, I have an 80 model XS1100G and yes it is the stock seat that I have. Can you tell me who you might be aware of that can provide the seat cover and pads?

Marty, Do know if the 2 the two custom seat links you replied with can provide replacement covers like this?

I have a SARGENT seat on mine. I believe the old stuff is all custom made. This is the best photo I can find at the moment.

Not mine, but a side view pic of the stock seat.



Not that I need one, but I am searching for seat cover replacements, so far I haven't found any yet.

Thank you gentlemen, gonna customize

I wanted to thank you gentlemen again for your input, since it appears there may not be a seat that I want available, you've given me plenty of examples I can give my upholstery shop to make a new custom seat made, might even be a mix of Harley low-rider in it. I'll send pictures (when I figure that out) as soon as I get it back.

Thanks again,

Kelly

Luggage Rack and Adjustable Back Rest

I own a 1981 XS1100SH

I recently purchased a Yamaha 1980 XS1100GS luggage rack and adjustable back rest. I tried to adjust the back rest and the welded set screw/ stud on the rack broke in half were the adjustment nut is. Also I tired to remove the broken piece of the set screw out of the adjustment nut but I was not able to. I tired liquid wrench to break up the rust but it still broke went turning it. I think due to it being rusted the nut and screw got seized inside. I was wondering if you have the set screws that weld to the rack and the adjustment nut? What is kind of nut is used to adjust the back rest? What is it called that adjust the back rest to lock in place? I wanted to fix the the rack before I put it on my bike. I could not find the the parts online and did not know what they are called. I attached pictures of the broke side showing the broke screw and the working complete side. Thank you for your time and have a great day.
