    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.

i have a 1981 gs450l. i just got the rear frame hoop welded on and now i am stuck. I don't know what to do about the seat. i was thinking of making a cafe seat and then i saw the brat style. now i don't know which direction to go. my ultimate goal is to keep weight to a minimum, while keeping it functional and clean looking. any ideas or pictures of your custom made seats is appreciated. here is how the rear section of the bike looks minus the seat. thanks for your time

I would go with a brat style seat but you'll catch a lot of flack on this site since your not building an original restoration.

he wont get any flack if it looks good and he does a proper tidy job, rather than a botched hack job.......
 
Need a side on shot to be sure but yeah, like Wally's is good. Wally did a real good job :D
 
i don't have a side view pic, but i will take one. i am in school now but will try to get a pic up this weekend at the latest
 
i should be paying attention in my accounting class, but i found a side view of my 450. i don't have a full side view. the bike has the stock L tank and 0 up, 3" back drag bars.

i got a quote of $130 for a seat using marine grade vinyl or $175 if i have have them stitch lettering on the back of the seat. The plan is relocate my electronics and then make the seat pan.
