    GS450T seat on an L?

    Sorry for the new thread, but I couldn't find anything about a swap for seats on these models. Anyway, I'm thinking about getting an ebay GS450T seat to stick on my L, looks like they should fit but wanted to double check - does anybody know? Also is it just the L seats that have super hard foam? Other bikes I've been on have a way softer seat...

    Here's what I'm looking at:
    Ebay 1

    Ebay 2

    For $50 shipped it's not a bad deal.
    1980/1981 GS450 - GS500 Cylinder + Piston Swap - "De-L'ed", custom seat, CB350 bits, 18" rear, etc.

      If anybody else was thinking about this, on the GS450L, the 450T seat is a direct bolt on:







      I'm not sure I love how it looks but it is really comfortable and will definitely be used for longer trips.

        Seat Swap!

        Looks great!

        The PO put an "L" seat on my "T" with some slight alterations on the bolt-on area.



        But I do prefer the "T" seat that I use from my second "T".

          I can't remember ever reading that here.
          Good work, Sam.
          The T seat looks much better, imho.
