    Replacement seat?

    I was going to post this in the parts section but there were no post in the last 30 days so I didnt think I would get a responce. Anyway, where can I get a replacement seat or a good seat cover for a 1980 GS850?

          Seat covers that is. If you want a new seat you have to wait (like me) FOREVER for a seat to show up. Or I am beginning to see if there is someone who could make me a custom seat :P

              Oldbikebarn simply re-sells seat covers from B&H:

              Motorcycle Seat Covers
              http://motorcycleseatcovers.com
              B&H Specialties crafts hand sewn replacement motorcycle seat covers for ATV’s, motorcycles, scooters and trail bikes. We have a wide variety of patterns including a large selection of vintage motorcycle seat covers that are almost impossible to find elsewhere. We are family owned and located in Texas. Since we began in 1984 we have shipped to almost every country in the world. Browse our catalog and if you don't find what you need, contact us. We can handle custom orders.


              Given OBB's shaky reputation, I'd cut out the middleman, personally.

              Do NOT order your seat in the textured material -- it's perforated and thus totally useless if you actually go places on your motorcycle.

              Otherwise, their materials and workmanship are absolutely top-notch.

              They only make covers for stock shapes, so if your seat has been re-shaped or badly damaged, you'd need to at least find a decent used seat pan and foam.

              Or poke around locally to see who the local riders recommend -- a good upholstery shop should be able to whip up a seat cover for not too much dough.
