  • seat identification, please

    Need new seat. I believe this is off XS11G. Can someone confirm? Perhaps recommend a great replacement seat cover? (hope this pix posts.)

    Regards,

    Mike

        Here are the pictures. I might be wrong, but that looks like an SF seat.

          Looks more like an 81 Venturer seat. Is the back of it enclosed? The front doesn't mate up to the teardrop shape of the Special tank, but it looks like it would mate up to a Standard tank.

              You are fine gentlemen to help me. Thanks. Suggestions on the best/least expensive cover to replace? I like to ride slung low and out front over the pegs, so that puts a lot of strain on the seat where you see it has torn by pulling. I do ride with a passenger, so their comfort is a consideration.

              Thanks again guys.

                Try these folks

                They are here in my town, and do fine work. I have one of their covers on my bike, and so does Wildkat. Many other members, and some of the former ones, have used them. The cost should be around $90.
