      Here is my contribution to the repair series:

      Currently bikeless
      '81 GS 1100EX - "Peace, by superior fire power."
      '06 FZ1000 - "What we are dealing with here, is a COMPLETE lack of respect for the law."

      I ride, therefore I am.... constantly buying new tires.

        Jethro --

        Nice!

        I grabbed the text and images, and I'll add it to the collection sometime tomorrow.

        I'm going to be reshaping and re-covering my seat sometime this winter. Any words of advice for those of us jumping in at the deep end with gluing and reshaping foam? Maybe I should just talk to an upholstery shop once I get the foam built up and shaped...

        Thanks!

          Are you going to make your own cover from scratch? I really don't think any of it would be that hard if you can sew. When I did my first cover with the bar-b-que caover fabric, I simply folded the fabric over at the corners. If I had taken the time to sew in the shape, it would have come out great. Reshaping foam has to be pretty easy, use a bread knife. What really would be nice would be a hot knife- we use 'em at work to do stucco work with foam mouldings, cornices and such.

          If you are making your own seat shape from scratch, you have got to document that for us.
