Compatible rider seats
I know the k3 thou is a bit different in many places to all other sv models but does anyone know for sure which rider seats are compatible with a k3 sv1000n. Also anyone got a compatible seat kicking about? Maybe part-ex one of my spare k3 pillion seats.

Re: Compatible rider seats
Are you after an after market seat. I think I have a k3 riders seat in the garage if that is what you are after

Re: Compatible rider seats
Im after something I can strip down and mess with. I had a recent ride on a thruxton which had a suede seat. Suede had a good grippy surface while still letting me move about and looked nice too. I also want to mess with the padding to compensate for my aging backside. Dont want to risk maki g everything much worse so want to keep my original original so I can go back.

Re: Compatible rider seats
I *think* the SV1000N K3 seats were the earliest incarnation of the reduced height rear end that became standard on everything K4-onwards.
However this notion comes from a vague memory of something I read at least 12 years ago. The shape of the side panels should tell you. Got a pic?

Re: Compatible rider seats
compare:
http://www.motorcyclespecs.co.za/mod...1000n%2003.htm with http://www.motorcyclespecs.co.za/mod...1000n%2005.htm to see the difference in shape. I know this implies that the 03 has the higher seat but every other picture I've seen of a naked K3 thou has the lower one. Perhaps there was a different spec for the South African version.

Re: Compatible rider seats
Mine is as per the silver one. It's silver too I know the infill panels are a bit different, question is whether the seat is the same between the 650 and the thou and the K3 and every other model ever made.
It looks like the blue one had a seat that does down deeper into the guts of the bike so I may be in bother. Guess I could phone the local dealer and check the part numbers. I used to have a link to a part number fiche but can't find it anywhere now.

But OK yours seems to be the higher one. I believe it's the same as the SV650SK3 seat. ie the odd one out. Try here for part numbers: http://www.alpha-sports.com/suzuki_parts.htm

Re: Compatible rider seats
As I was curious, I did it for you.
That link shows the same parts for the year regardless of faired or naked, so: SV1000 K3 45100-16G10-W05 SV1000 K4 45100-16G32-W05 SV650 K3 45100-16G20-W05 SV650 K4 45100-16G41-W05 but as you can see the part numbers are different from 650 to 1000. Ok, we're no closer...

So that should be compatible with anything K4-onwards even if the part numbers don't match, and I was right about the K3 naked thous being different to other K3s but the same as all the later ones.
