    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    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.

Hi, first time posting, hopefully this is the right section.

I recently posted on Reddit about a project I have been working on (http://www.reddit.com/r/bikebuilders/comments/2wyq7r/1978_suzuki_gs1000_project_need_your_help/) and
I am looking for some help with my seat which I want to build soon. You can see my whole project here on this imgur album (http://imgur.com/a/TqpdC). I have this square bracket (seen here: http://i.imgur.com/nWY6s5S.jpg) from the original seat and I want to figure out how to make a seat pan and custom seat (out of fiberglass) to fit on it, while integrating my lucas style taillight in the rear. I have worked with fiberglass before so I am not new to it. I just want to know if anyone else has had experience in doing something similar to a GS1000. The style of seat I want to try and make looks something like this (http://www.british-customs.com/images/products/secondary/attr-bc407-007--1.jpg)

Also if anyone knows of companies that make seats that fit on GS1000s I would love to know. I have scoured the internet relentlessly but have had no luck!

Thanks in advance!!

None of that seat bracketry appears to be stock.

IIRC Giuliari made a seat similar to what you re looking to build.
