    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.

Post your custom seats. Preferably L models.

Dont you want to try it yourself? Think about how you want to change the seat, and take your time. I wanted a lower, and farther back seating position with a sleeker look to the seat. It was actually kind of easy.

Those strut covers are just 3/16 thick flat stock aluminum pieces that I cut out on a bandsaw, polished and bolted on. Ive got about 15 min into making those.

Hey Deesel what material did you cover your seat in?

I had a local upolsterer cover the seat. He said he used it alot for motorcycle seats. It has the feel of soft leather. Its kind of stretchy and somewhat tacky (nonslip). Good seat material but I cant tell exactly what it is.
He charged me $100 to cover my seat after I carved up the foam.

I was just wondering that myself last night as I slept on my new memory foam pillow (yes, my mind is on motorcycles even in bed...). Bet that stuff would make great seats and it's only like $15 for a pillow-sized hunk at WalMart.

Was thinking about going that route myself but then I thought about it, the foam would probably wear out quick and start to shrink and then the material would probably start to look bad and wrinkle. But thats just my .02

No. lol. Last time I tried that on my GT550 and I trashed the seat it looked like poo. Then I stripped the foam and put new foam on and tried to carve my own seat and it looked even worse lol.
