Wanted - 1981 flat seat no modifications needed

[dboccagno]

I have a 1981 XS650H and as you all know that seat is very bulky. I heard there was a company that used to make a flat seat that just clipped in without having to modify the frame. Wondering if anyone knows where I could find one? Thank you.

Do you intend to keep the rear fender? From what I've seen, many of the "flat seat" brat style seats have too flat of a seat pan to keep the rear fender.
Beware of that too.

I’d like to keep the back fender. @gggGary I assume this is the best I can hope for without modifying the bike at all.

 

[gggGary]

Prolly? They'll change colors etc. I havent bought one but others have.

They will customize per your request. I bought one for my '75 and had them change the side panels and stitching for me, at no extra charge. They aren't really flat but are pretty low profile.

@willis is that the one @gggGary is talking about?

Texavina These are zero modification seats for your '81.

Yes, It's made by the same vendor. Texavina is the company. They sell them on e-bay under the seller name daytrader-07. My seat is for a 75 standard though. The one Gary linked to looks to be for the specials. Not sure about the pics Marty posted just above, but they look like the same manufacturer.
