    Seats?

    Can someone tell me how much of a difference there is between the 78-79 GS 750 seat basepan and the gs1000 seat basepan. I have a 78 GS1000E and I found a seat for a 78-79 GS750. Will this fit on my bike or not, if so what other years will fit on my bike?

    comparing a 79GS850 to a 77 GS750 the seat mounting hinges are mounted in different spots SO probably not a good fit

        I dunno. The 750 and 1000 seem to very much the same. Might work.

          They are different, check out the gallery on this site for a good comparison.

            The 1000 and 750 are different sized bikes chances are the seat of a 1000 will be too large for it. The 850 frame may be closer to the right fit.

              The 850/1000 frame is wider than the 550/750 frame
