Contact David Burgess at Hotwing Glass. He has your seat, but it may not be shown on his site.

Do a search on ebay for xs650 cafe seat. there is usally a company on there (caferace-inc) that sells the fiberglass pans with the tail piece. You would then have to have it upholstered.

cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotor...0133477307

good luck

I just received a seat from caferacer, inc. Got if off of Ebay for $155 plus $20 shipping for total of $175.
It has locations for hinges and locks in the same place as the stock pan. Will have to drill holes for the rubber bumpers that go between the seat and the frame rails.
