    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Were might I find a aftermarket seat?
Go custem?

I looked in the calog and neither Corbin, Mustang or Cobra had an option for my Monster.The stock set-up just tends to pitch me forward a bit.

And.... Do the the 16 valvers(post "79) switch over to my ride with out to many mods? (and whats to many mods?)

Anyway, Ive been lurking for a while and I seem to have found all my info via a search.(thank you all) Hope I don't keep any of you awike with this complex question. 8)

seats

I would keep a look out on e-bay or craigslist.com I found my seat on e-bay for less than $50.
 
Sargent rebuilt the seat on my XS650. Looks very nice (you can get different textures and looks and colored piping) and it's nice and comfortable. Not cheap, though ($200), but what are you going to do ?
 
Who hoo! :D Thanks for the website Mike, I was just wondering what to do with my old ripped seat. $125 seems reasonable.
Thanks!

The Saddleman/Travelcade kits are covers with foam that go on your stock seat pan.

The prices over $200 are for seats and not kits.

I have a double bucket on my 81 GS750L and it works a lot better than I thought it would. When I first got my bike the riders seat was about as comfortable as riding on a brick. I didn?t think I would like the double bucket because it would stop me from changing position on long rides. It turns out I can still change my position and the seat is much more comfortable than I thought it would be. The foam is not very dense and the only real improvement I could see for this seat without totally reshaping it would be to add a little high-density form for a little firmer support.
