I've been through a lot of XS11's... buying, selling, restoring etc. But Here's something I have never seen before. A mustang seat made for a 1979 special. Have you?

Makes me think of plush furniture.-Mike

Looks to me like an '80 - '81 Special as the rear is raised for the taillight1980 XS1100G "Dolly G" Full Dresser (with a coat of many colors

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

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

Yeah, it looks like that from the first pictures I posted, But Here's a better picture from the rear that shows it sitting down very close to the fender and would be even closer if I tightened it down. And also, the original tag labeling it for "xs1100 special 1979". It's probably twice as heavy as a stock seat and I gotta say... It's really comfortable! I have no idea how much, but I bet it was very pricey when bought new.Originally posted by Schming View Post
