    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.

Hey guys, just purchased this one (first bike) for 1000. Runs pretty good, starts nice, has about 33k miles. below is a crappy photoshop of the flat black paint i want to use. i also photoshopped a 1981 gs650? tail on it, because i HATE the look of my seat. My question is which seats are "compatible" with mine? which will use the same hooks and lock? I really appreciate it!
 
Tanks, seats, and tail pieces do not interchange between models. You are going to have to fab new mounts which is pretty difficult unless you can weld.

A simpler solution is to have a custom seat built using your stock seatpan. Strip off the cover and build up the foam/carve it down until you get the shape you want. A good upholstery shop can make you a cover afterward. This is a fairly popular mod for the L crowd that don't like the step.
 
I assume then that some people don't like that seat as well.

1) Do you know of any pics/threads where I can see one thats been modded?
2) are their any good places for L parts, in case I want to ride my L while I create the seat? I checked out some that the search function turned up, but nothin
3)what kind of finish is that on the harley nightster? I like that flat black, but its like satin or something?


thanks a lot guys. I have been able to use the search function for other things which is cool.
