    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.

Does anybody know of a company that can recover seats for my wife's 1980 GS850GL
 
Try a friendly local upholstery shop. When I bought my GK four years ago, I took the seat to a local shop that did a nice job re-covering it. They charged me about $70 to have it done. I was pleased.

Unfortunately, a year later the foam quit supporting my weight and I was sitting on the pan itself. That's when I decided to have the seat customized by Diamond Custom Seats, at http://www.diamondseats.com/diamondseats.html .

That seat cost me $349 plus $20 shipping. In addition, I had to pay UPS to ship the seat to Diamond in Seville, Florida. The date was January, 2001, a little over 3 years ago, so it may be more $ at this time.

It was worth it. You can see pictures of my seat in the thread by Planecrazy, "1100GK seat ... will it work on a GS1100G?"

Mine is a "HiMiler" with optional velour top, which I recommend over naugahyde. Three years and 39,000 miles later, it's holding up quite well, both functionally and cosmetically.

The pan must be in good shape, with little or no surface rust, or they won't accept it.
