Opinion: seat covers?

[AJ]

Need a new seat cover for my 1982 GS1100e. They are available from both Saddlemen and Sargents.

Both are available for about the same price from various resellers.

Does anybody have an opinion which is better / nicer?

I can't speak to Saddleman but I'm happy with my Sargent carbon FX cover.

Neither. There is a place in Thailand that sells (via ebay) a replica of the original Suzuki cover. There is a long thread in the archives by someone that sent their original cover to them for replication. The search feature will turn up the particulars.

Pit Replica makes pretty good seat covers.
I have one on my GS1000 and it's top quality.

Here's one for the '82 GS1100E.

Yes, this is the one. As close to OE as you are going to find, and a very fair price.

Thanks, guys. The Pit Replica seat on ebay looks nice, but it's $25 more than I can get the American made Sargents or Saddlemen covers.

The other ebay source Mac MC Seat Covers does not show one for the 1982 GS1100e. I think this is the first year they added the big lip section to the front of the seat.
