Seat length the same for 1000"S" and 1000E?

[KEITH KRAUSE]

Can anyone measure their "S" seat end to end, top and bottom, please?
Maybe a pic with a ruler on it so there's no doubt?
I think the S and E should be the same length but need to be sure. I'm thinking of putting the flat S seat on my E model. Thanks!

I think you're right Keith. I just checked a fische and although the seat pan, and cover are no longer offered, the 1979 E and S model 1000 use the same part numbers for the seat hinge and lock set.

Thanks Earl. That's a positive sign!
Please somebody. Help me out here with some measurements.

Thanks. I just did. Hope he's around to help.
Anyone? Pretty please with 104 octane on it?

Umm, I've heard that the extra/higher octane won't give you any advantage! 8O

Ssshhhhh. That's why I'm sweetening my plea for help. I just wanna get rid of the last can of the stuff.

I put a "79" 1000 "E" seat on a "79" 1000 "S", and it fit perfect

So Keith, will that answer be close enough? I know how finicky you can be. :-) :-) :-) The bikes could have been different colors Y'know. :-)

Earl
I really hate myself sometimes. :-)

And I hate you the rest of the time!
I think the seat will be happy on my bike, even if it did come off a slower colored bike. :P

Finicky? I guess I am. I really would like some actual measurements though. "rphillips" gave me the answer I want to hear (THANKS!), but I always sweat the details. :roll:
