    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    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.

Question About Seat Compatibility

Does anyone know if a seat foam and cover kit that's made for a '79 GS 750E will fit properly on the seat pan for my '77 GS 750?

I (apparently incorrectly) assumed that finding a replacement seat for my bike would be fairly easy. Replacement covers seem to be abundant, but pre-shaped foam is another story.

The king and queen seat that's on there now is comfy, but it's just not my style.
 
Hi,

The replacement seat cover should be close enough. You can order a hunk of seat foam from Sargent's and shape your own seat. Or just bring the whole thing to an upholstery shop and have them do it. Check out the seat information on my website for suggestions.


Thank you for your indulgence,

BassCliff
 
I was considering cutting up the foam on the existing seat to suit my needs, but the cover is in decent condition. I think I might try to sell it to buy more goodies!
