    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.

I know this doesn't really classify as a "technical" question, but I'm wondering if anyone has suggestions on either an aftermarket seat or something I can do to my existing seat so it's not so slippery. I went for a short ride yesterday, my first on this bike, and my textile pants on the seat were like teflon! The pants may be more of the issue. Any suggestions? Thanks!
 
There is a very stylish solution to your problem. Put a placemat on your seat. :-s If you check out the aerostich website you'll be able to see what I mean. It's a foam rubber type thing that's available just about everywhere.

Looks great! I think the sheepskin one would be perfect. Thanks!
 
When you say something like this is available just about anywhere, do you mean at any motorcycle shop, or is this something one can make from common, everyday materials? Thanks!
 
Sheep are willing to reproduce fairly readily from what I understand. :lol: If your talking about the foam stuff, you can get it at any store that sells placemats for tables. I'm sure you'd find it at walmart. It comes in a 4" roll and is about 18" wide. The best part is that it stops your passenger from sliding into you every time you hit the brakes.

Maybe I saw it listed as a bodywork protector on Aerostich. You can put it under your soft bags to prevent them from ripping off your bikes paint.

I think that depends on who's riding with you. Personally while riding with the wife I think a slippery seat is the best part. :wink:
 
Did you Armor-all your seat to make it look pretty? Don't! This is the result.
 
Didn't Armor All it, it's just slippery on it's own. Haven't done anything about it yet, but will probably get one of those Aerostich covers or something similar.
