    Step down seat

    I would like to know where I could find a step down seat for my 1980 GS1100E. Thanks.

      My advice...keep the stock seat. My last 1100E, the $300+ Corbin seat with a step down kept me in the "pocket" for nice 30-40 mi blasts on back roads, but on longer trips it became "restrictive" and not so great. I put the stock seat back on!

          They make one for 82 and 83 GS1100E's but not the 1980 model. (I'm pretty sure the 1980 and 1981 frames are the same.)

            '82 GS1100E.
            As someone else posted, they don't list one for an '80 GS1100E. Here is a link showing what I had, only all black.



            Great looking seat and excellent for short run twisties, but my point is that any step type seat is going to restrict your forward/aft respositioning and on longer trips with longer legs, it becomes annoying (for me anyway). That's why I preferred the stock seat.
