    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.

My bike came without a seat"grab rail". Title has a typo should be Handle not Hancle (can't edit)I have been able to find one through a parts recycler but it came with rotted mounting cushions. The cushions part # 46212-49000 are no longer available anywhere but ebay and sellers there are asking 4 times the original price plus 40 Bux for shipping. Ya right 40 dollars to ship something the size of a quarter. Has anyone here come up with an easily made replacement or fix. looking for ideas here as I don't think the exact part is a requirement but it would be nice to have something similar. Thanx for any info

Have a look in car trim suppliers for the same type of rubber mount or even electronic component stores for a suitable rubber grommet that would be close in shape.
They are out there.
 
My buddy turned out some hard rubber pads with an indent for the handle stubs on his small lathe and then epoxied proper size washers to the the side that goes against the seat.
Not concours correct but will do the job and only the very anal will be able to tell the difference.
