Seat cover for Suzuki GSX750ES

No like everything else they changed the seats to.Very little crossed over from the 80-82.
 
That's for the 80-82 as well.Here's a pic of one of my 83 seats:

No place for the bit that goes up the tank in that one.

Think it would look odd without is.Just my opininon.
 
If Cliff put it on his site I'm sure they are pretty good.Have you seen the covers from anyone else?It,s always going to be a bit of a hoping game.Yes the site could be better.

I agree. A flat seat will look ridiculous.
What I'm looking for though, is a a seat that looks like yours with these classic stitches and all I can find is plain ones like this:

He who can provide me a link to a new one from the type you have will be declared a saint :pray: !

Why not buy some marine vinyl and take it somewhere to get it upholstered. Hell you can even change the foam and look of the seat for $50-$60 total cost. I did it and it looks and feels a lot better. My seat matches yours.
 
Ranger,
Where I live there are several shops that do custom made seat covers but I did not like the quality. When it comes to one peace seat cover for dirt bike it's fine but when you're talking about stitches and the surrounding classic belt they will not be able to produce something with adequate standards.
I'll follow SVSooke advise and contact the guys athttp://motorcycleseatcovers.com
If they can provide a custom seat cover per a picture I'll send them I willing to spend the extra $$$.
I want this design :

Buy the way..
Am I the only one who thinks that this one looks like an elegant lady shoe ?

I found the same problem as you in that sense. I guess I was lucky to have found a guy who does work on vintage chairs, couches etc who has been doing it for 40 years and has a motorcycle so he knew what needed to be done for quality, comfort and style and then... was able to do it for a mere $50.

In the meantime while you look it may not hurt to call places who do different upholstery work.

I wonder if the name he gave the picture (Suzuki__82-83_GS-1100_EZ-ED-ESD_50-52-00) doesn't imply that its a seat for GS1100ES 1983 (see attached picture).
 
The 85 GS750s (Add the X for yours) came with the same seat as the GS700 in the US.Here's my bike:

And a 700

Side cover are different but the seat is the same.The other pic you linked to is a 83-4.Have 3 of those seats kicking around here.Same base,the extension over where the grab bar goes is a bolt in piece.
 
SVSooke,
Here is a closeup of my seat. Probably not the one the bike was born with.
1. Can you tell which model was it taken from ?
2. Will it fit the "Suzuki__82-83_GS-1100_EZ-ED-ESD_50-52-00" design made by Charles from http://motorcycleseatcovers.com ?
 
"Not the same seat at all" says Charles.
I guess I have no choice but to settle on a plain seat cover :( ..
