  • Has anyone tried this seat?

    Have any of you bought this seat from ebay. Looks beautiful and has multi-positioning brackets. But it's from Hong Kong with no return policy.

    With the bikes listed that it's supposed to fit, it is not going to fit the XS1100. The listed machines have narrow frames.

    Here's a company that makes custom seats in Vietnam.

    MOTORCYCLESEATSDIRECT.com You may search reviews under the name Hondaclassics31 as that was their former name.

    TEXAVINA has custom XS1100 seats as well.

    If you're going to buy something universal, I suggest you pick something domestic in case you want to sent it back.

      The XS11 frame tubes are 8" wide at where the front of the seat would fit, and 9 1/4" at the widest.

      The sellers sizes in picture show its 7 1/2" at the front so it won't fit over, and I don't think they look good perched above the frame. But that's just me.
