    King & Queen (Touring) Seat

    I am looking for a comfortable seat for my 81 XS11. Does anyone have anything?

    You can try ebay, or if you are looking for a new unit, try Diamond Seat out of Florida. They made the K/Q seat I have on my '82 XJ. It is a variable-density foam seat, and they will customize it - both the driver and pillion parts - to your and your passenger's weight and inseam. Price is not cheap at about $420.00, but it is a very comfortable seat as I can attest. Seat came on a new pan, included a rain cover, but I had to swap the mounting hardware from the old pan to the new. (Later found another set of hardware on eBay, so have 2 seats I can now use.)

    See Diamond's web page at:

      I had a king/queen seat on my bike when I bought it. It was the one that looked to me like two toilet seats. It was the most horrible thing I ever sat on. Thankfully, I had no trouble unloading it on eBay as it was in pristine condition.

      SARGENT did my seat and I LOVE IT!

        I second the Diamond seat. Have had it on my XJ1100 for more than 10 years. Just now the foam is starting to get a bit hard (could it be the extra 30lbs or so I have gained?)

        They also did a color match to my maroon color, seat is black and maroon. Koollllll
