    I would rather trust my bike to a "QUACK" that KNOWS how to fix it rather than a book worm that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix it.

              That ebay add says Brand isTexavina, I punched in Texavina motorcycle seats in viet nam, and it popped right up. I don't know how to do links. Good luck

                    I dont have a foam either Steve. I dont care if i can get a flat or stepped seat. Heck even a good pan and foam would do. can always get a pit replica cover

                      Looks like that's been beaten out by hand!

                        I thought, by the pictures I saw, they looked pretty dang good, even have both for standard and "E" models and hand rail available if needed. It's amazing how many folks looking for some of these older bike seats, and nobody around here has ever tried one of them... Chuck, here's your chance, you can find out for yourself plus for all the GSR folks if these are a legit option. ..Come on Chuck, we'd hate to see you miss this huge opportunity !!

                          Weld in a new piece. Youtube it and you'll be rich.
                          the pics you linked to look like a fresh oem pan as well as the product they sell. A bit devious.

                            Actually looks too good to be true, it says... This is a complete seat with cover, foam, and seat pan. Mat pan: metal and powder coated with black paint, same dimensions as stock seat. direct fit without any modifications

                              I like it on my GS1100GL. Not the most comfortable but I can ride 150 or so miles without problems. The seat is very well made and fit perfect. I was very surprised.
