There is the style backrest that mounts to the rear luggage box, and another style that is attached to 1/2" round chrome tube that looks like it mounts to either side of the seat and can slide forward and backwards to fit the rider's comfort.
Here is the good seat, it has a plastic pan so there won't be any issue with it rusting out like earlier models. Its a factory cover I am sure, the chrome trim looks near perfect. There is no holes or weak spots that I could tell. There are a few places where the black vinyl has faded slightly...
I have a 2nd seat that the cover is falling off due to the pan is rusting around the edge and some of the spikes that the seat cover hooked onto have fallen off. It is mostly structural sound, but some of the edges or corners have rusted away. It could still be used, as an upholster myself...
I have a few of these King and Queen seats or what ever they cal them.
Was the seat something you wanted to buy or trade for the 758a carbs I'm looking for?
Update:
The complete body off the 1981 maroon GL1100 has been sold.
Just the complete front end (the handle bar switches / controls not included) but the rest of the front end is after removing the triple tree from the frame so the front end remains complete and in a like new condition...

We are basically stripping the bike(s) down to build cafe racer(s) and there are a ton of good parts we don't want to go to waste. The previous owner took really good care of the 1981 bike. I believe he rebuilt the forks and brake calipers not long ago. The burgundy paint looks to be in good...
I am looking for a decent set of carbs for a 1976 GL1000 with 758a carb bodies. I had planned to restore them completely, so the condition isn't crucial but I do not want anything so bad where the metal itself is rotting away. The current set I just took off the bike is rotting away, the towers...
