    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.

I've been looking around for a seat for my GS850 for a few weeks now.. I'm not entirely set on the cafe look, but after seeing this bike, I found that i'm dead set.

I'm looking for the name / part number on this seat! I'm fairly certain it came off Dimecity.. I am just not sure which one it is.

Lol. Thank goodness my rear does not need That much cushioning. That'd make me feel the need to have my grandmother ride bitch. No thanks.
 
Search "cafe seat" on EBay and you will find a lot of them. Probably some of the best prices around too. Don't forget Spyug's warning to you about the seat though. Get something with a real seat, not just a thin foam pad, or you will hate riding the thing for any distance.
 
Also check out Hotwing Glass. Good quality fiberglass and pads that are actually comfortable.

I think you and Chuck have alot in common, this is his seat on his newly acquired '78 GS1000C. Chuck will probably pay you to take it off his hands! It would probably cover 20 cafe seats with the vinyl off this thing.
It reminds of a tick that looks like it was about to pop!

Humpy dumpty sat on a frame....ha ha


It is mighty comfortable tho, can't deny that.
 
Thanks for the feedback, and the links, guys. It's appreciated.

So if I were to be ordering a universal seat - 81 gs850g, which frame would I be basing it on?
 
Have you seen the seat that JimmyR made for his GS1100G in his build?
Beautiful!
You might want to send him a PM. ;)

I did see it.. Not a huge fan, but it does help the look of the bike.

Check out my build thread to see what I've done!
