  • cafe type seat

    Which other model/year xs11's have a compatible cafe type or not as pronounced passenger seat that will fit onto my XS11H?
    BAMN!

    Be easier to just take your seat to an upholstery shop and have the foam reshaped to what you want or new foam altogether.

      The earlier style (78-79 std's) have a different seat pan than your H and wont fit... unless you start relocating things.

        You can get one like this out of Vietnam. A little pricey though. For the Standard, you can get just the seat foam with cover, or the whole seat with pan.

            Is there another model seat pan that will fit or am I limited to the H model?

              The '80 standard seatpan will fit yours I believe, but that is it.

                  1100 is the only one that will fit. Others not are not even close to the same.

                  I still say just have the foam of yours modified to suit your needs.

                    I will definitely do that as far as the seat goes. But what I meant was which model 1100 (1100's only) ie h/sg/g etc. is the easiest to find parts for not between 1100 and 750's

                      Couldnt answer that question. I will say the 79sf is probably the hardest to find model specific parts for since it was a 1 year design.

                        I would like to keep the touring seat so I can just slap it on when the Mrs. goes for a ride and have the other for me.

                          Do you have to remove your supertrapp to change your oil?
