    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.

Having trouble locating either a seat cover to replace my old torn one or a new seat altogether. Still a bit cold out here in Montana, but I have already ridden my ol' girl twice! Would just like to get it looking good with a new seat cover at least. Thanks!
 
Awesome, thanks! Now I just need all this snow to melt.... A new seat would really help the look of my bike.

................................. i would have to say pit replica,,, of ebay they look well made and are not expensive ,,, i too have to pay my local upholestery of which wants a fortune ,,but i do have to go down fixing the seat,,, regards oldgrumpy
 
Another option:
http://www.motorcycleseatcovers.com/order-item.asp?ColorID=1&Item=4592&Make=SUZUKI&HP=

- Factory seat shape only.
- Do NOT get the patterned vinyl. It has holes in it. :mad:

Here's my seat process -- I made an insert with Sargent's SuperCell foam (the stock seat foam was pretty weak after 70,000 miles or so) and installed a MotorcycleSeatCovers.com seat cover:

Pit Replica for a Stock seatcover and a local upholsterer for a custom job have both worked very well for me.

Or even a combo-Get the cover from Pit and get your local Upholsterer to put it on a refoamed pan.Take the old seat in complete or with lots of pictures so the thing can be done as it should be.

Thanks a lot you guys! bwringer I have the same bike as you, color and everything. That seat looks mint. I'll be sure to check out a local upholsterer and see what they charge.
