    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.

Hello. I need to recover the seat on my '82 gs1100e, and was wondering if the travelcade seat cover kit looked like the factory seat ? Thanks, Mike
 
I only had the option of the double bucket seat from Travelcade for my 81- it's nothing like the factory seat.
 
I recovered my seat with one of their Saddleskins, and it looks pretty much like the original. The stitches differ slightly, but the stitching pattern is the same.

By the way, after recovering a stepped seat on a Kawasaki 440 LTD with one of these and struggling to get the last end hooked, I learned a trick that helped quite a bit with my 850. Cover the seat foam with clear plastic wrap (e.g., Saran Wrap) before you install the cover itself. This allows the cover to slide a bit on the foam, which makes getting the last part fastened easier. It also keeps the foam from getting soaked when it rains.
 
Thanks for all the replies. I was watching a cover on ebay, but had a bad computer meltdown and lost it. Just got some new sidecovers from suzuki and tank decals, so it's getting paint and a new seatcover. By the way, this bike will be for sale when i get it looking good again.
