It'll take some finagling but guess it can be done. I have both gl1500 and gl1200 and the 1500 seat is quite a bit bigger.

Life's too short to fool with fat, ugly, or mean women!!! :smilie_happy:
I wouldn't waste the effort trying to put a 1500 seat on your '87, in stock forum one is about as comfortable as the other

This looks like a nice custom seat at a decent price.[url=https://classicgoldwings.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=174031#p174031:3nbpuwby said:

Brand new saddleman at a price that is tempting even me. But I'm comfy on my 1200.
