GS1000 after market banana seat?

[jurgenllederhossen]

I just bought a beautiful 1978 GS1000, It was set up for touring when I got it with a vetter fairing and an oversized king and queen saddle, I'm trying to sport it out a bit more and am looking for a new seat, I keep seeing this curved suzuki seat on a lot of gs pics on the net, love the way it compliments the lines of the bike,
Any of you GS'ers know what kind of seat it is, and where I can find one?

any advice would be greatly appreciated, thanks

eBay is your best shot for anything. Next best thing is your local MC bone yard.

i have never seen such a shaped seat on a gs... interesting.

Have you considered checking with a local upholsterer? They probably could make ou a new seat using your existing King/Queen pan.

thanks!

Yeah i didn't even know they could do that. I will totally look into that. You have any idea how much that is, or how much is too much for me to pay?

I paid $150.00 for the local upholsterer to redo a CBX seat. He put a step in the seat, changed the foam density and recovered it with a Corbin-like cover.
Those Guiliari seats are rare in North America. They turn up a bit more frequently on E-Bay U.K.
