No like everything else they changed the seats to.Very little crossed over from the 80-82.

[GSX750ES junky]

Too bad .
The old one looks much better.

How about this, SVSooke ?

This Ebay seller seems to make high quality beauties...

That's for the 80-82 as well.Here's a pic of one of my 83 seats:

No place for the bit that goes up the tank in that one.

Think it would look odd without is.Just my opininon.

[GSX750ES junky]

I agree. A flat seat will look ridiculous.
What I'm looking for though, is a a seat that looks like yours with these classic stitches and all I can find is plain ones like this:

He who can provide me a link to a new one from the type you have will be declared a saint !

[SVSooke]

These guys may be able to do that http://motorcycleseatcovers.com/ from BassCliffs site.Personaly I'm going to recover mine like the PO did but take out the old one.Then do something with one of my other pans

[GSX750ES junky]

Their website is very poor:

http://motorcycleseatcovers.com/

No examples of finished seats. I can't pay 100$ for a seat which I have no idea how it will look like.

[SVSooke]

If Cliff put it on his site I'm sure they are pretty good.Have you seen the covers from anyone else?It,s always going to be a bit of a hoping game.Yes the site could be better.

Why not buy some marine vinyl and take it somewhere to get it upholstered. Hell you can even change the foam and look of the seat for $50-$60 total cost. I did it and it looks and feels a lot better. My seat matches yours.

Ranger,
Where I live there are several shops that do custom made seat covers but I did not like the quality. When it comes to one peace seat cover for dirt bike it's fine but when you're talking about stitches and the surrounding classic belt they will not be able to produce something with adequate standards.
I'll follow SVSooke advise and contact the guys athttp://motorcycleseatcovers.com
If they can provide a custom seat cover per a picture I'll send them I willing to spend the extra $$$.
I want this design :

Buy the way..
Am I the only one who thinks that this one looks like an elegant lady shoe ?

I found the same problem as you in that sense. I guess I was lucky to have found a guy who does work on vintage chairs, couches etc who has been doing it for 40 years and has a motorcycle so he knew what needed to be done for quality, comfort and style and then... was able to do it for a mere $50.

In the meantime while you look it may not hurt to call places who do different upholstery work.

SVSooke,
I contacted Charles at http://motorcycleseatcovers.com
He sent me a picture of his design and it looks sweeet (see attached picture 1).

[GSX750ES junky]

I wonder if the name he gave the picture (Suzuki__82-83_GS-1100_EZ-ED-ESD_50-52-00) doesn't imply that its a seat for GS1100ES 1983 (see attached picture).

[GSX750ES junky]

I'm not sure if this is good for the seat I have (see my bike on the attached picture)
Another mystery is that unlike mine, GSX750es 1985 will usually have a seat that is not straight at the bottom. Like this : http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z...tywave/1-1.jpg
So which seat cover do I need ?
