I have an 82 LTD which has the same rear as your G1. I don't like it either, and I was hoping the answer to your question would be yes

Anybody know of any creative seat+tail solutions for these bikes? I've been looking for pics in the forums but haven't seen many examples.

check ottos build

Otto did a fantastic job, looks awesome! At this point I am leaning towards carving up my LTD seat pan to work with the "A" fender cowl. I need to shorten the back of the pan a few inches and contour it to fit the shape of the cowl. If it works, it should look pretty cool. I was looking at some vietnamese import "cafe" seats on ebay, and it looks like they have just re-contoured the foam on original pans.

I think I can handle the foam, and then get someone who knows what they're doing do a cover.

I'm anxious to get started on it, when it warms up a tad around here. Brrrrr!
