'78 GS750 Seat Recovered

[Kcwiro]

So did they do anything about the surface rust on your seat?

I am specifically curious about that. My seat hasn't got split seams that I have noticed but the seat pan does have a bit of rust here and there. The material definately crunches down some and I definately get a bit of a ruffer ride that expected sometimes.

I'll make another good run through checking it out today and see how it works figure I probably want to take some digital pics to email to the guys there what I am talking about and see what they say on it. The rn aroudn doesn't bother me too much since I have the bike in pieces at the moment cleaning up things here for install of the new gaskets.... once I get them.

Partsnmore has not emailed me back saying they sent them out and I ordered them on the 7th of this month...and they do not provide a number for me to call and get an answer from them. They did however take my money without hesitation which I always frown upon when I don't have any feedback from them what so ever...they are saving me a sixty bucks but I would have expected some type of feedback by now... I'll just sit on my hands and wait

Sargents told me to pretty well take care of the pan and anything else before sending it in. They can get work done for you, but you'll pay for it. My pan has a little surface rust. Sanding and painting would solve it so it's really only cosmetic. I've sat on the seat once since I got it back and it seems to have plenty of cushion. If you can get the price down low enough, you'll save enough to have them put in more foam so you don't bottom out. Call 'em, see what they say.

Talked with Rudi today, very pleasent fellow. Guided me through the ins and outs and looked over the digital pics I took of my pan and current cover condition. I have some small wear showing on my existing cover (not the stock one since this guy has some draw strings or something near the rear to tighten it down) and the material is not very tight to my seat pan.

I am going with foam replacement figure hey I'm fixing this bike up I have to do this guy...the rust removal and repaint they are offering me more than satifies me since i personally have enough things to keep me busy this winter on this project.

CarbonFX Insert (yours looks too good to pass up) :-D +$20
