    My Lord Chris, that thing is pure sex on wheels and makes me feel funny in my pants every time I look at it, absolutely stunning, if it were a girl and it were my sister, I would be the worlds biggest redneck.
    Green with envy.
    And yes, loose the white seat, I don't know why anyone would want any other seat than a genuine GS seat.
    You need to take a ride down and visit my life long buddy and bossom friend in St. Johns, Worcester, he will go ape sh1t if he sees that bike, we rode our GS' together for eternity, until he moved over, then he sold out and now rides a BMW GS1150 Dual sport.

      Definitely agree about the thumbs up on the black seat. Much better look, and if it's that comfortable I'd definitely go with it!

        Thanks for the kind comments, I personally, by far prefer the stock seat which is original, but in an effort to help it last as long as possible I put a black giuliari for bombing around locally, then this white one came up and I thought I'd try it. But as I wasn't sure about it anyway it now has definatly got the thumbs down. Londonboards said the much same thing when he saw it. Shame really because its the original thing unused from the day. I'll use it on another project I'm collecting bits for.

        The black one.

        Don't say can't, as anything is possible with time and effort, but, if you don't have time things get tougher and require more effort.

              Yes tatu, one of the best looking bikes around. Agemax has another GS1000S stunner and in white too. I tried to persuade him that the white seat would look great on this:



              but he was having none of it and he gets to keep his indoors. How can you get away with that?

                  I must say the stock GS1000 seat is a very comfortable one. It proved it's worth to me on my cross country trip. I'm not familiar with other seats except the GS1100, which isn't quite as comfortable, but I hear the 850G and 1000G have a really comfy seat on them.
