Looking for a seat that will fit my 1972 XS650. It does not have to be an original (would be nice) it just needs to be able to fit the frame.

This is for sale on EBay. I have never bought one, but other forum members here have bought seats from them. Some times they take some adjusting to make them fit properly, but those who have bought them generally seem happy with them.

Mailman,
Thank You for the lead. I will look into it... I got a birthday coming up and everyone is asking what to get me... I think I just found something.
'Thanks' again.
I like my Texavina seat. They ship from Viet Nam. Order now and have it by spring... lol. Just kidding. Mine took about 5 weeks though and they custom made it per my specs. They are a fairly firm seat though, but then again mine is low profile.

@willis has a 1975 XS650B. As you know, the XS-2 has a different seat pan. Did you look here? https://texavina.com/xs1-xs2-xs650-1970-1972/
Here is a picture of the seat @Mailman posted. I copied from the Texavina site.
I bought a seat cover and seat foam for my 72. Almost wished I just went with this seat. That was a job getting that seat cover on.

I have recovered seats in the past... mostly Honda's. There is a vender on eBay called GumTwo.. they make excellent covers. Their recommendation on re-covering foam is to wrap the foam and seat pan in cellophane. Makes the job much easier!
Never thought of that Makes sense though

Mailman....
I do not remember telling you this but I did order a seat from Texavina.... and it came in today. Almost three weeks to the day. I must say I like the quality. The metal seat pan is a perfect match. I did have to purchase the mounting hardware and I am not sure that I have it in the proper orientation. See Pics.
Not sure if I am going to keep the grab bar... I am going to have to see it on the bike. What do you think?
'Thanks' again for all the great tips from everyone!
Looks OK

I still need to find the latch part of the seat. I have the Hook and Spring part on the bike frame but no idea of what the latch part looks like. Can it be purchased anywhere? Or do I have to fabricate one?
Looks like this. Several on e-bay
