  • 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.

One thing if you guys notice, I've never been able to get the seat to sit flush against the lines of the tail's plastic, not the original or this one. Any remedy for that? It's not a terrible issue, but would like to get it to sit right if I could.
 
The rear seat lock/striker is adjustable to a certain point. just loosen the 3 bolts that secure it and move it down as far as possible.

Nice seat by the way.:)
 
Did you heat the material with a heat gun or blowdrier before putting it on? Gets it fairly pliable, and a little stretchy before putting it on, and when it cools, it shrinks and gets nice and tight.

I had a local upholsterer do it. He does all that.
 
IMO some foam would have to be removed from the length of the seat to get it to line up flush with the tailsection. The guy did a nice job on it though.

Weren't you the one who said you wanted it to sit flush with the plastic piece (tail)? from what I see, it's got some weird little bulges on the lower part, like some of it has been overstretched, not terribly noticeable unless you're close up like the pics.

That's not what's keeping it from sitting flush. It's just not sitting back far enough - there was a gap with the original seat too.

Also, it's been stretched about as tight as it will get. Not alot to work with when it comes to those old metal teeth on the underside. So there is a little rippling along the bottom edge.

Oh, THAT'S what you're talking about, haha.

also, I didn't mean to stretch it more, I just meant that it seems like some parts were stretched more than others. Anyways, if you can't adjust the rear like preciously mentioned, you could always shim the mounts on the seat. i did that on my L, however, I'm pretty sure that they're different in terms of seat attachment.
 
It looks nice. The 2 step level adds some character to the bikes lines too.
