82 GS750 Seat Question

I have a T model...I bought it with a strange seat that came from Lord know what and now I'm thinking of reverting back to what it's supposed to be but I have a feeling that I am missing some of the "hooks" and stuff that the stock seat would hook onto. I also don't see where a locking mechanism would be for the seat - they must have had one no?

Here's a pick of the seat on there now:

So does anyone have a pic (manual, personal etc) that shows what a stock seat hooks into so I can see if I have a bigger problem than just the lack of the proper seat?.

Also, it's missing the bracket that holds the tank down - a pic of that would be nice as well. Looks like I will have to make one - local boneyards have nothing.


~I've looked in my manual and I don't see anything helpful so I thank you in advance~

Why do you want to replace the seat that's on it? It looks cool. Is it uncomfortable?

It's not really uncomfortable but it doesn't really fit the bike - especially up near the tank. Perhaps I could build a "platform" for it to sit on or something. Do some metalwork with sides kind of thing so there's no empty spaces.

It's only attached to the bike by a bolt at the back of the seat, so there's nothing holding it in the front - it just swings side to side kind of thing.

I'm really not sure what I'm gonna do - it'll be a bit of a pain getting all the stock seat hardware together so maybe I'll try and make the seat I have fit the bike better.

BTW - Thanks for the pic beby - I think there must be "hooks" on the frame that the seat slides into on the one side though?? I think those have been ground off by someone...lol

I just saw another picture of your seat. You're right, it doesn't really look like it fits on that bike from the other angle. If I remember correctly, there is a hook on the underside of the stock seat that slides under the retainer on the tank mount (part #7 in the diagram). The back of the seat has an integral lock which mates with part #11. As far as I know, all of these parts are "bolt on". You should be able to get them off of a junker.

Not around here - I might have to try some larger centres like Calgary or Winnipeg or something...
 
You can still get parts for the T models from the suzuki dealers. I've replaced some of my tank and seat bolts and brackets.So if you have a suzuki dealer near you thats where I would start.
