Hi all, and happy new year. I thought i would share my experience of pit replica seat covers, superb service and fast delivery from TC. I bought this 78 gs1000 seat on the bay to refurb. After a blast and a bit of welding a coat of black paint and the new cover i think it looks great:). What do you guys think? Im having trouble uploading more than one pic, oops.
 
Yup, that's a brand new seat. Well done, gotta love pit replica. Usual BC weather, damp and over cast, not the best riding conditions but there's a bunch still getting out.
 
Thanks for the comment, we have been on holiday in Canada my brother in law lives in SK. Weather here is cold and damp also. another pic.
 
Hey UK GS, if you grab yourself a photobucket, or similar, account you can post up to ten full size pictures in each post. Makes things a lot easier for you.
 
We hope to do plenty sitting on it and racking up the miles this coming summer!. my wife and me like to travel on the bike as much as we can, sedelen. pic shows bike last summer waiting and loaded for a run out, happy riding.:)

That is a very very nice GS1000!
 
Thanks for that. I have owned it since 1999 and over the years have stripped it all down even the engine and gearbox. it has a 1085 wisco kit and i cleaned the ports a bit, and jetted up the carbs. Question what do you think of the air filter?. Look hard before you answer;).

Looks alot like mine, I mean all I can see is the chrome cover on the air box, except it looks wider, like a G model.
Here's mine for comparison.

Now thats a very very nice gs1000 too!. You hit the nail square on the head with the answer to my puzzler. It is a G air filter, i could not get the correct one so i cut the front out, welded in tubes and made rubber sleeves then pushed the air box onto the carbs. I now have a plastic box i made which drops in where the original filter should be. Handy storage space. I cant wait to fit my new seat yours looks fantastic!.:)

That's sounds like quite a fabrication on that airbox. Alot of patience and
painstaking ability paid off.
The seat cover on mine is also a '79 GS1000E Pit Replica also. My pan luckily didn't have any rust on it. If I had the chance to do it over again, I would've painted it like you did yours prior to putting the cover on it. But with the seat cover and seat underpan in place the pan you see looks just like a
newer used one, if there is such as thing.
