ID:	866329 The seller doesn't know what model this comes from. It looks about right for my '79 SF but I need to be sure before spending that amount of money.

    The seller thinks it's an SG seat but isn't sure. Will an SG seat fit an SF?

      Check this interchange guide here:

      Looks like a stock '79 SF but the guide shows that it may be an '80 - '81 standard

      1979 XS1100SF (stock-euro mods planned)
      1984 XV700L Virago (to be hot-modded)
      1983 XJ750MK Midnight Maxim (semi-restored DD)
      1977 XS650D ( patiently awaiting resto)

      Sometimes it takes a whole tank of gas before you can think straight.

        Thank you! The seat is not open at the back and the base is flat, so if I'm understanding this right it should fit my SF.

          I not so sure it will fit an SF.

          That seat is more narrow at the rear than an SF, and the SF has a flatter shape on top.

          Like Schming, I'm thinking that seat might be from an '80 or '81 Standard. The the '81H Venturer had a unique seat, but I don't know if it shared the same pan as the '80 Standard.

          Here's the Venturer seat:

            Thank you. Based on the advice given i think I need to look elsewhere. £250 is a lot of money to spend on a seat that won't fit!
