Wes Cooley replica seat

I was lucky to find this Wes Cooley replica seat on e-bay UK:)
Apparently, it was manufactured in the USA but I don't know what brand it is?
The condition is not very good but as the base is made out of plastic, a simple reupholstering should bring it back to new:cool:
It surely transforms the bike with it on!

John,

I'm not sure what you mean by a Cooley replica

The actual 1000 S models have a flat seat

The yoshimura bike has a thinner seat with a square rise

Not a bad looking seat, tho

I meant a replica of the type of seat used by Wes Cooley on his racing bike;)
In fact the production models came with two different types of seats.
The flat one as you mention came on the GS 1000 SN ( 1979) and a stepped one on the GS 1000 ST ( 1980) at least in Europe.
The stepped seat is different to the one on the GS 1000 C/EC.
Here are some pics of those seats.
First my GS 1000 ST

This is definitely a GS 1000 ST with the rear set footpegs.
It's a US only model because it has the CV carbs and the color scheme is identical to the GS 1000 SN.
The seat pattern is also most probably a US only model?
It looks horrible to me:eek:
 
This is a copy of the Giuliary seat.
It doesn't replicate the Wes Cooley look and....it's only the seat cover:(
The problem these days is to find a proper seat base that's not rusted through and through!
