    Will GK and G seats interchange

    This must have been answered before but I couldn't find it. I don't particularly care for the GK molded "plant your butt here" seat and my butt is too close to the pegs for my arthritic knees to be comfortable. Will a G seat fit? If so it will make the sitting position a little taller won't it?

    A G seat fits on a GK, but you need to remove the grab rail on the back as it interferes with the top box.

    Not sure if it sits any taller.

      As Tom has said, the seats are interchangeable

      If the seat from a "G" suits you, all you have to do is lock it in place and ride.
      There are no modifications involved.

      I believe the G is just a tad taller than the GK seat, but memory has gone on that, since it I did it more than ten years ago.

        From looking at other GKs I believe a PO has wittled down the thickness of the pilot seat. If true a stock GK seat might work.

          The 1982 seat is better then the 1983. I bought a bread new 1983 G and the seat was way too dished.

            But you could ride it in your loafers?

              Here's a side shot of my bike. Notice how low the seat is in relation to the hump on the gas tank.

              And here is Mayhem63's GK. Notice how much taller his seat is? Someone has been carving on mine me thinks.
