    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.

NOT MY BIKE, but the most perfect pic I could find.

Here is a little photoshppping of an added white vinyl stripe sewed into the skunk seat.

since it is a "skunk" shouldnt the stripe go the length of the bike?

Tacky or Cool?

Cool, if they manage to align it that perfectly. :cool:
That bike resides in Ontario, Canada.;)
 
If you can get it to look like that it would be nice. Might pick up dirt?

I don't care for it, but I can easily understand why someone might. It certainly doesn't ruin anything.
 
It can't be seen when sitting on the bike, so as yard art it gets a thumbs-up.

I'm leaning toward it looking good new, but less so over time as it gets dirty/creased

All good points guys ! It was kind of an "over the top" idea anyway. To really match, it would also need gold stripes too.
 
To my eye a custom seat cover should only be done with a custom paint scheme.
The stock seat and stock paint combo look great.
 
Wouldn't like the stripe on the seat...too much of a single straight line. Motorcycles are not straight, they flow and have curves. But if you like it, go for it. There are a lot of things I don't like that are beautiful to someone else.

...noticed your location...we must live within 3 miles of each other.

Modify it to follow the curves of the seat, might look right then. As just mentioned, the GS is a curvy machine, straight lines don't work for them.
 
Not a fan, but I do think some white trim on the seat might look good. ;)
