I'm putting together sort of a franken bike...newer frame, older motor. Some of the older suspension, some of the newer. I ran into problems when trying to install the seat. The one I have is an 87, the frame/subframe I'm using is a 92. Along with the 92 plastics. I could use the 87's tank, but the seat does not fit the subframe....and it's not even close to the 92's tank. Looking on ebay, I see mostly older styles (would be great if I were using the old frame), and a few newer ones. What years will work for my project? I can't find a part number for the pan. But from the aftermarket covers (lots of thoes on ebay) I see they are the same for 88 and up. Is the entire seat the same? Or is there a break somewhere?
I've been finding out that things would have been much easier had I started with a 88+ bike....rather than piece taking two and making one good one.
