I recently purchased a 1982 Honda goldwing GL1100 from a friend who had just got it in a trade blah blah. It runs great.42xxx on the odometer. I took all the chrome off (crash bars n tow plate all of it). Fairing is gone. Bags all gone. Now the seat has to go but I was wondering if there was any way to find a seat that would fit the 82 gl1100 that had a much smaller profile. 1 seat maybe enough for a 2nd. Thanks for you inputtt

Re: Naked 82 gl1100
You might want to perhaps repaint the front crash bars (I know you don't want the chrome) and reinstall them, even if you just cut them down a bit. They're there really for a good reason. Otherwise a gentle tipover which would otherwise be a non-event with zero damage, instead turns into a valve-cover-punching, aluminum-head-damaging, expensive repair. The heads and valve covers were not designed to take the weight of the bike.
