    Hello there--the seat on my 550 has a tear thats opening a little bit more each time I ride. I've been on the lookout for a new seat as I haven't found someone I'd trust to redo the upholstery near me and saw a seat for a 650 on ebay. Would I have trouble fitting that to my bike??

    The seat pan is a different shape/size and the latching mechanism is entirely different. They are not compatable at all.
