SEAT !!!!!

Hi everyone. There is a two up seat conversion available on E-bay. It looks like a HD Sporster seat adapted to the GZ. I'm personally not interested in a two up, but this ought to be a better option than the shitty stock seat and passenger pillion. It's relatively cheap as well. Someone who wants a two up should go for it and let us all know what the scoop-de-poop is.

Go here: Seat

Re: SEAT !!!!!

That does look good. An enterprising GZ owner. I wonder if a sportster single seat would also work. BTW I have been testing my single seat upgrade and it is working very well. Will attempt to post a how-to tonight.

If I wasn't so heavily invested in some other options, I'd be really tempted.

Note that it is a KIT and needs to be attached to your existing seat pan(s) somehow.

It looks OK to me but might put the rider a little farther forward......which was one of the problems on the last modification I tried.

Re: SEAT !!!!!

Thats a pretty slick seat for the GZ.

"uses existing hardware" .. means that it uses your existing mounts/bolts etc. Not that it slips over the existing seat pan. Thats definetly a sportster seat (as sarris mentioned) adapted for the GZ.

Re: SEAT !!!!!

It is not that I am interested in a two-up, just interested in a comfy seat, and am willing to part with my solo seat look for comfort sake. I am going to try to get on that this evening(getting the scoop that is).

Later

With all due respect to Dupo, I think I still would want to ask exactly what the "bold-on" operation consisted of before commiting $100.
It DOES look good. If it was more comfortable, I think it would be well worth $100. I've got about 3 times that much tied up in various
failed attempts.

Anybody want a seat pan with new cover? CHEAP!!

Re: SEAT !!!!!

The price he's asking is unmatched. If you are considering buying one of these - go for it. Shouldn't even think twice. You won't find a seat at that price anywhere.

For my small pan style solo seat i have on the shadow i paid 120 + shipping for. For the previous mustang touring seat i had = 300.00 + shipping.

For $100, bolt on and instructions you cannot go wrong. If i had my GZ yet that seat would be bought, paid for and installed already.

Re: SEAT !!!!!

My only problem is the dude doesn't show a straight on side view, and it looks to me like you will see a triangle of daylight below the seat. It looks kinda rigged to me. And.... I would want a solo. One more thing, stock Sportster seats suck......roomier than the GeeZer seat, but damn near as uncomfortable.

FYI.
