    Seat options for 650L

    I currently have the stock seat on my 1981 gs650gl. It is the step up seat. I find myself half sitting on the stepped up passenger part in order not to feel cramped. Are there any other seats from other models that would work that don't have the step up or does anybody know of an aftermarket seat that would be avaiable. Thanks!

    I have the exact same problem with my gs650. I hope somebody has an answer on this. thanks.

      Get it reupholstered - the foam is likely shot after all these years. Cost is about $200 around here, and you'll have a nice looker too.

        Consider changing the handle bars. I put on Daytona style bars that cost$20 from Amazon. Seating position is much more comfortable without the pull back from the bars. I find myself sitting closer to the front now.

          79 GS850N - Might be a trike soon.

          79 XS650SE - Pragmatic Ratter - goes better than a manky old twin should.
          92 XJ900F - Fairly Stock, for now.
