    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

1978 GS400X Seat Woes

Hello good people, I've got a bit of a problem with my seat.

The seat I currently have came with the bike when I purchased it, and I always had noticed how unevenly it sat on the bikes rear plastic. Come to find out, it is from an '82 GS450E, which has a very different looking seat than the '78.

My question now is this... What seats will fit correctly on a 1978 GS400? I have seen some similar seats from late 70's 425, but some look slightly different. Do any other models have seats of the same size that may fit?

The seat I have now works, but it doesn't fit up to the rear plastic and sort of presses on it the wrong way.

Thanks for the help.
 
Hey mate, welcome! A picture or two would help a lot in this case.

The 450E seat definitely won't be a straight swap but as for the other model 400's and the 425 I'm not sure, it would have to be a measure/view/test type thing.

The parts fiche indicates your seat is shared with the '78 400C and that's about it, but Suzuki will change part numbers for the littlest things like colour, so there may indeed be others that fit.
