      Hi Cy, Jim,
      FWIW, I put a Saddlemen double bucket foam and cover on my XS650 Special's spare seat pan.
      Excellent product, went on easy, stood up fine and looked good.
      But.
      The bucket style seat configuration won't let you slide back and forward at all, where you sit is where you sit.
      And while my wife's elegant girlish stern comfortably fit into the pillion bucket, my own fat arse was jammed into the front bucket like a cork in a bottle.

          What about other models?

          So it sounds like very little swapability between the 11's, but what about between an 850 and 11, or 750 and 11? Does anyone know if those might swap?

            Hi DaVinci,
            shocks & grabrail look just like the ones on my SG?
            What strikes me is the seat don't look right. Looks like it's not hooked in at the front, just put there.
            And no, other XS model seats won't even be close. Apart from not being the same shape XS750/850 seats hinge up instead of lift off and XS650 lift off seats are of a different & superior design.
