Does anyone know where I can get a King Queen seat with the padded high back? For my 1979 XS1100 Special... I know most people seem to hate them, but I really like the way the look!
Thanks,
Chris

If you get one, put a little more padding up front to keep your ba$ls off the tank!Skids (Sid Hansen)

Hi Chris and welcome.Originally posted by ChrisMC View Post
Dammit, where were you when I was trying to get rid of mine?
I had to keep it for years until I finally found someone who'd accept it as a gift.
yeah, guess what, I hate them too.
It's not the first one either. One of my XS650s came with a KQHB.
I sawed the tail off and welded up the base into a normal seat.
I still have the tailpiece in my shed someplace.
If you can find a friendly welder the tailpiece could be grafted onto your stock seat pan and the whole thing re-covered.
PM me your postal addy and I'll mail it to you.Fred Hill, S'toon

Are you talking about the K/Q with the individual buckets for each rider or the one that is basically a regular seat but with a really tall padded sissy bar in the back?Nathan

The one that's all one piece including the padded sissy bar. Sometimes called a "love seat". You don't see them much anymore, was a 70's, hippy kind of thing!

Hi Greg,Originally posted by BA80 View Post
I hates them; it's a perceived hazard thing. The raised tail could trap a fat old man on the bike when he urgently needs to bail out.
And them's the ones!
Just like the KQHB that I gave away and the earlier KQHB from one of my XS650s that I sawed the tail off.
Offer still stands; anyone wants that sawn-off tailpiece, PM me your postal address and I'll mail it to you.Fred Hill, S'toon
