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.

  • 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.

Mislabelled eBay Seat Looks like a GS650E Seat

It looks very similar to a 650G seat except for the strap across it. I would ask him to measure the Overall length, width and distance from the latch in back to the front.

At the end of the day it's buyer beare because he probably won't take or want it back. 75 seems high IMHO, 50 is a better price for decent seat nowadays.
 
I agree the price is too high and he did not answer my email, doesn't seem to be a big push on it. I'll probably wait it out. If it is original and very nice it is still at the least 23 years old and even unused vinyl deteriorates. At $50 I would push harder
 
You need to look very close at the bottom pix & compare it to yours
A like new seat pan is worth the money!!!!!!!!!!
 
It really looks like mine. The fact that my question has gone unanswered is a bit of a concern, but could be busy or something. I got a couple new pads for mine from the Suzuki dealer. If I can return them I might be more inclined to go for it.

Thanks

Dave
 
The seat is relisted as a GS650 seat now probably in response to my letter and he did reply to me just before the bidding ended. The new listing shows the seat is now $65 and despite my wife's ban on any more parts it sure is tempting.
 
Dave if it is close enough and the seat pan has different mounting then do what I did. I bid on a later model GSL seat, took off the seat cover and foam and remounted them on my cleaned up and repainted seat pan. All the advantages of a brand new seat for $65 shipped! Best deal I ever got.
 
Thanks. I cleaned up my existing pan and welded in a couple of patches, they are not visible from the bottom. The pan looks as good as the picture and since the cover of my existing seat is new with good quality vinyl but somewhat ill fitting I think I can make it work without further agitating the powers that be. It might make a nice seat for someone on this forum.

My cover was cut somewhat large so it is salvageable. My pan looks as good as this one from the bottom now.
