    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.

Seat inquiry!

FLATout?

So my project GS1000 has a seat pan and a correct foam/cover combo. None are attached to anything, and this is my problem. To my frame is attached the locking mechanism (matches my ignition key :clap: ), as well as the hinges. While drilled for it, the seat pan does not have the corresponding latch-hook nor hinge connectors. Here are some pictures:

The Seat

As you can tell, I have no idea what the proper names for these parts are, and these small, random parts are hard to find. Does anyone out there know where to look? Does anyone have any to sell?!

One the hinge system is properly in place, I'm going to bring it in to an upholsterer to get the cover properly attached. I'm in the Seattle area. Does anyone have a good reference for an upholsterer?

Thanks!!
 
A bit hard to tell but it kind of looks like a Giuliari aftermarket seat. You just need the corresponding seat latch and hinges that attach to the seat pan. I'll have those. Send me a PM with some shipping info.
 
I would guess that, with that fiberglass pan, you will need to have some sort of backing plate to brace the hinges, along with the nuts for the bolts. that hold the hinge and backing plate together.
