Are you sitting comfortably

[its_only_me]

will the seat of a standard R65 fit an R65LS model?

[NC Steve]

No, it won't.
Justin's the current expert on this topic, I believe.....

You will also need the rear cowl and the "tool-box".  What's wrong with the LS seat?

[Rob Valdez 79 R65]

You might need to replace some things, like the rear storage box.

The cowling should not matter, as it is integral with the seat.  It is the cowling/storage box match that is critical.

I assume the LS box is different from the standard '81-'84 box?  I really don't know, myself.


The only other area that might come into play is the front of the seat, but I don't know why that would be any different.  The tanks were the same, just different paint.

At some point, I see a '81-'84 seat in my bikes' future.  I already have both boxes and subframe.  One of these days I'll have too much money in my checking account, and I'll "dial-up" S. Meyer and order me up one of those brand new replicas!



Tell me that ain't a thing of beauty, and for only $245 as I type this!




But...


for only a little more...




$300 USD as I type this.




Or maybe I'll just have to get both!

Thanks.

There is nothing wrong with my LS seat as it happens, but there is a rather fetching Guillari sports seat on e-bay for no money at the moment, here is the item number.... 200101869823

Change rear cowl and "toolbox" and you should be set...
