    Is there any aftermarket seat options for my wifes 82 650? Or has anyone adapted another more comfortable seat? She is fine on short rides but I would like to get her more comfort for longer tours.

    Corbin still makes seats if you send in your pan, as do most of the other seat rebuilders. If you keep an eye out sometimes they come up for sale on Ebay or Craigslist. I snagged my Corbin for $40.

    When I was having my seat re-covered, there was a Honda seat that for my 81 XJ650 Maxim. I do not recall what Honda it was from . . . the place that was re-covering it provided the loaner, they had seats hanging from the rafters . . . :rolleyes:

    Anyhow, that Honda seat was really wide and very cushy.
