    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...

    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.

Sargent Seat Covers?

  • Thread starter Thread starter mark m
  • Start date Start date
I put an aftermarket cover on my yamaha maxim about 6 years ago, cant remember the brand, wasn't a sargents, it went on no sweat and looked good for the 6 mos I kept that bike.

for the 850 I contacted an upholstery shop that I do business with, and they quoted me 75 bucks to redo the seat I have as long as I dont want any custom materials. even better they'll send someone to pick the seat up from work and drop it off when its done. think Im gonna give them a shot , sounded like he does a bunch of em.
 
Wait, who's bad mama-jama seat is this...

Ohhhh yeah...
 
By Christmas time I will have my other seat recovered plus have my sweet stock seat. :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:
 
I have an '83 GS850 just like BriTXbike (well, mostly '83). Anyway, the seat is the same, but my bike has about 68,000 miles, most of that with my largish butt in the saddle.

The seat foam in the front portion of the seat is completely knackered. Done for. Finito. It looks and feels normal enough, but it takes less than two minutes of riding before my, er, seat bones are contacting the steel seat pan. Owie. There's no firmness left at all.

So far, my super duper air cushion has saved the day, but I'm going to order up a new seat cover soon. I'd like to entirely replace the foam in the front half of the seat.

Does anyone know of a source for motorcycle seat foam? I'm going to need a pretty good size hunk. I was thinking of heading down to CRC2 to see if they would sell me a big hunk of foam from the rear portion of some otherwise ruined seat.

I've seen a few web pages where a guy discusses the best ways to sculpt a seat, and he uses rebond foam to build up areas the way he wants them.

Any ideas?

I just had Sargent recover my seat and they did a great job. Looks very similar to stock design and the stitiching is very crisp. Fast turnaround. I can't say enough good about the company.
