Yes it can be done but IMO the twin seat option is far better, more versatile, better seats available etc. I've converted my last 3 or 4 1150 advs to twin seat.

Cheapest way to do it is to find someone with an Adv (the model with the single seat) who wants to swap the other way. Takes about an hour or so...

Thanks for that bit , makes perfect sense , I can't see any reason to other than cosmetic looks , I can't decide which looks better .

I think the twin seat is better for pillion, also looks better IMHO

As a GS rider @ 80k and ridden GSA @ 2k, I agree with Tim.

The seperate seats definately add to the comfort.

You can also get cheaper insurance if you don't carry a pillion, and having only a rider's seat makes that easy to do. Try demonstrating that if you have the single (dual?) seat...

Adv twin seat has less under seat storage plus no height adjustment, the standard Gs has the underseat tool box.

OK , I'll not interfere with the way it's supposed to be . Less is more . Thanks for all your comments
