Well you could just cover the back part of the seat with duct tape...
;)

The problem I have seen is that the OEM seat is wider than the top lip of the tail plastics which makes designing a solo seat cover difficult. Thats what I am working on now.

Wildhair.com sells a kit from Europe which replaces the seat and tail bodywork with a replacement that is a GSXRish single seat, but its expensive and you lose the ability to carry passenegers/anything on the back seat.

If you are looking just for the appearance of the solo seat look at Corbin's gunfighter seat.  The back part is colored to match and looks like a solo ride.

Look at this:  http://www.corbin.com/suzuki/gs500e.shtml
