    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    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.

Seat Question...

Hey I am going to get my bike back soon....It works, it runs, everything on the maintenance list is done(YEA!).

Anyhow next up is the cracked vinyl seat. (I know its an "L"....:D).

I know there are kits out there for re-covering it yourself, and I have looked at the vendors, and was unable to find my seat. Otherwise Id probably go this route...Seams easy enough with the walk through on someone site (I don't know who... but thanks to that site, I did a lot of stuff, and have enjoyed my GS to no end)

I will probably have an upholstery shop re-cover it, one down here was recommended, and they gave me a good price for what ever design I wanted. What would you guys do for design, since the sky is just about the limit.. I was thinking something like a silver edge with black material, maybe a checkered pattern (maybe a little too busy?). Is there any thing you guys would do in particular as I have "no taste" in designing things like this. (Evidence above with my ideas and suggestions...)

Ideas:
-materials, you like Vinyl or Leather, some carbon fiber-ish new stuff, duct tape?
-patterns? Plain, Stitching pattern original?

I am open to ideas. :p

The pic was taken when I first got it. Sorry. I will post a more recent pic when I get it back. I have fresh rubber everywhere, new hoses and clamps, and I added the battery cover back, to hide the hideous white battery oh and new signals, new mirrors, tires chains and sprockets which are not in this pic.
 
Note that Pit Replica is in Thailand and currently has flooding problems from what I heard here.
