    78 xs1100 Seat

    Newb here - love the site so far! Now... I just got a 78 xs1100 standard. It's a great bike - but I'd like to replace the banana seat on it with something a little more comfortable for cruising. Does anyone have (or know where I can get) one?

    I've searched ebay and only found one that I didn't really like.

    Thanks! B

    I have a stock seat from an 80 Standard, very good shape. I also have a king queen seat for the same bike but never installed.
    $50 fir the stock & $60 for the other one.

      I've got a saddle style seat if you are interested. Its in very good condition. Where are you in Ohio. I'm in Cleveland and you are welcome to take a look at it to see if it fits your needs.

        I'd like to see the stock from the 80 Standard... can you send me some pics woodbutcher?

        I'd also like to see the saddle style mastan... can you also send me some pics?

        I'm still making up my mind on which style exactly so seeing them will help a lot.

        Thanks - I appreciate it! Bds

                  I live within 5 min of edgewater. I'm just started riding - so no racing anytime soon. I have buddies that race and want to soon. Does tristate have a website - I'd like to check it out and maybe we can meet up sometime.

                      '80 standard seat

                      Woodbutcher I would be interested in the stock seat for the '80 standard model if bs78xs11 doesn't want it. Is it in good shape and could you send me a photo or 2 ?
                      For that matter bs78xs11...I might be interested in yours from the'78 if it's stock and in good shape. Does that include the fiberglass piece around and behind the seat or just the seat itself ?

                          King-Queen seat...

                          Woodbutcher......

                          You still have that K-Q seat?

                          I would really like to get hold of that style seat and especially the support (sissy) bar for my SG. I had one on my SH and sold it with the seat.......if only I had known how hard they are to find!!

                          my bad...!!

                            I'm still interested in the stock seat woodbutcher has (waiting for pics).

                            How much are you asking for yours mastan?

                            And showtime - not sure yet if I want to get rid of the seat I have now - if so I will let you know first.

                            Thanks again everyone, B
