seat

Just curious if anyone is in the market for a King and Queen style seat for their XS. Fits my 77 perfectly and is in great shape. I rode with it twice and its just not my style so now its just taking up space. It is about to go on ebay but figured I would check here first.

Ok so I was just given.... yes for free! A 78 however, no keys at all! Looking to remove the seat found the latch but with no key I don't know how to get it off! Don't really want to have it rekeyed case I'm gonna tear it all apart anyway and have new ignition on the way.... any advise?

Does anyone know of a seat I could get that is similar to this one? This xs650 cafe style bike was made by Left Hand Cycles. They custom made the seat so I know I can't get one exactly like it but I really like the simplicity of it and the fact that it curves with the frame in the back...

I'm new to the forum. I recently acquired a 1980 XS650 Special that I'm going to restore. I've never had a XS before so I'm going to have some questions as I go. I was looking at aftermarket seats on Motorcycle Seats Direct website. There were several for 75-79 XS's and 78-79 XS Specials. Is...

Found this link on Modifying your motorcycle seat and thought I would share. There is some good information here for the DIY crowd. http://diymotorcycleseat.com/modify_2.htm

I picked up a seat pan for an early 70s DT1. I'm wondering if I should try to adapt it for use. Has anyone done this or seen it? A search revealed very little, but I'm probably doin it wrong... Thanks all! Troop Throwbacks

I would like to upholster my own seat pan but I'm at a loss of how to attach the covering on the underside of the seat. For those of you who have upholstered and aluminum seat pan... What method did you used to secure the covering on the underside of the pan (snaps, rivets, clamp...)? The...

Anybody seen this awesome seat yet! I'll be purchasing this. Wonder how easy/ hard it will be to mod an 80-84 to fit it. http://www.dimecitycycles.com/vintage-brat-style-chassis-seat-parts-ribbed-black-leather-wrapped-dcc-originals-large-cc-seat-dcc-bratlcc-r.html

Hey guys, This is my first post...I've owned a 1979 XS650 Special for about a year now. Just got done doing a top end rebuild (cam chain guide went bad). Now I'd like to make a few aesthetic changes before I put the engine back in. Gonna change seats and handlebars. I've been using...

Hi all, I searched the threads to the best of my ability and wasn't able to find specific reviews on the ABS plastic legendary bugeye cafe seat the legendary motorcycles and mikes sells. So...I bought it and the mounting kit to give it a try. Now, remember...I'm quick to say that I am new at...

Ok I have figured out that I have an 1980 XS650 Special II. From reading on here that explains my spoked wheels and hinged seat. So my question is about the seat. What seats will fit? Since it is still a hinged seat like the earlier standards will an earlier seat fit?

I was wondering if anyone had seen some of these ABS cafe seats in person. They're now being sold on mikesxs, but are also available at http://www.legendary-motorcycles.com/caferacerseats.html I was wondering if these are strong enough to be suspended on mounting bolts like fiberglass...

Ive been slowly converting my bike to a similar clone of the Classified Moto XS650 I wanted the same style just with a few changes like a stock airbox, gauges. After picking up and adding set of 92 ZX7 forks the bike looked back heavy with a big seat. I like the cafe look but am not looking for...

Does anyone know if a `73 tx500 seat will fit (straight bolt-on) a `73 tx650? This place is great. Thanks in advance.

I have 1,5 XS 650 standing outside. #1 is a raked 1981 Special. Complete. #2 is a stock 1981 Special frame with trees and forks. My plan is to move all the parts from the raked frame to my stock frame. However, I don't really like the seat that is standard on the Special models. Is...
