  • Seat help for a 1980 11

    My 11 has a typical 1970's-80's "banana seat", which is a bit tight for my wife and I to be comfortable on a ride of more than 30 minutes. Anyone know where I can buy a seat that has more room, or is it even possible to mount such a seat?

    Which 11 do you have? Year?

    We have a 79 with what they call a lizard tail seat and I ride up with my husband with enough room. We also have a 77 750 which has a King and Queen on it which is pretty comfortable ride for the two of us. I know the 77's seat won't work on the 11 because of mounting hardware, but I have seen them for the 11's depending on the year....

    Good luck in finding a seat.... these bikes are great for riding 2 up!

      The 79 had an option for the REALLY tall back seat, and the 80 you could get one about half the size of the backrest piece.

      There are king/queens for the 80-81 Specials, and I am sure you can find one for the 80 Standard as well.
      Life is what happens while your planning everything else!

      When your work speaks for itself, don't interrupt.

        11 Bike seat

        Sorry, tired when I posted last night. It's a 1980. Do you suggest looking on eBay or Craigslist?
