Asking if anyone out there has a RE5 seat pan they are looking to sell/trade. On my way to a proper restoration, but mine is shot.

Solid seat pans are VERY hard to come by...
I have tried to get some made in fiberglass... but have not yet been able to get it done yet...
Best,
Jess

Hi, D K Motorcycles in the UK had a complete seat base with damaged foam & no cover on ebay about 2 weeks ago but it did not sell. Maybe this is of interest.There phone number is 01782 862200. Cheers Gordon

Thanks for that. I will follow up to see if it is still there. Did not think this would be a hard part to find.

Hello Jeff,
The RE5 seat has just been relisted by DK Motorcycles, assume it’s the same one mentioned by Gordon.
Seat cover and foam look shot - but the seat pan metal base may be usable.
See eBay item No. 350360049618
Look at the images and judge for yourself.
Hope you find one soon.
Regards,
Mick J

Hello Jeff,
I'm also looking for a seat base/pan. I have a spare RE5 bike that I'm breaking for parts for my own RE5 restoration project & to swap/sell, but the seat pan is rotted through & the one on the bike I'm restoring is one of those large American aftermarket double seats that I want to replace.
As I'm looking, if I come across more than one useable seat pan I'll let you know. If you find more than one, after you have found yours, id be interested to know.
Good luck with your search.
Nick

Nick I'll take that aftermarket seat off of your hands. I'm looking for a spare seat to use with passengers. |

Thanks

Nick,
Will let you know if I find any pans, this could take awhile. I too have a parts bike I can trade/swap parts with others.
Did you buy the estate sale bike in Anaheim Ca? It had the type of aftermarket seat you describe.

Still on the hunt for a seat base, the silence is deafening.

my local bike shop here in the UK say you can now get new replacement seats with metal bases for about £200 - $300 not sure if this is from suzuki or an aftermarket dealer but i will find out the next time i go to the shop.
