    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 replacement question

I have a GS650GL and I would like to change my seat from the king, queen style to something a little flatter.. I've seen many topics on this and wanted to know if anyone had tried replacing a GL model seat with a T model. I'm thinking about ordering the foam and vinyl for a T model and putting it on my GL seat pan. Otherwise, I guess it's off to the upholsery shop.

Regards,
Tim

I am not sure about a T model or even what it is but the GS650E like mine has a flatter seat than the shaft drive 650s and there is no chance that it would fit without extensive revisions. It seems unlikely any stock flat seat would fit without changes.

Ihave a G model seat available but cannot state it will work or not. I think if you like the bike enough except for the seat your best bet is an upholsery shop. For around a C-note that can probably crat what you want. Try a boat shop, they redo cushions all teh time. Check out JC WHitney, they sell skins adn foam kits, you might be able to make something work.


the tank and frame are setup to work with that model seat pan. It si a lot of work to change over and it does not usually come out right.
