    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...

  • This forum is for placing reviews for parts, accessories, gear and service as it relates to your GS motorcycle. The key here is "GS Related". There is a bit of latitude here but we don't want to see a review on Maytag washers just because that's what you use to clean your riding jacket in.

    Keep your review as factual as possible and please refrain from personal attacks. Posted articles will be reviewed by the Editors and may be removed at their discretion.

    So let's make this a useful addition to the forum! A special pat on the back goes to Hap Call for coming up with this great idea.

    The views expressed in this forum are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect the views of "The GSResources" or the editors.

  • 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.

Not sure if anyone still reads this section, since the last post was in 2014, but I figured I would post my review up anyway. This seller on eBay, mac32756, makes excellent quality seats at ridiculous prices for what you get. Only has one picture and doesn’t show it mounted on a seat pan, but this product is very high quality. Glad I accidentally stumbled upon this product.

Good to know, thanks for posting. My seat is 30+ years old and eventually I'll have to recover it.
The image you attached is very blurred. Can you add a link to that seller's listing?
 
Here ya go, Roger:

Here is a picture of one on a 400:

Thanks guys. Wow, that is inexpensive! I wonder if this guy will have any problems covering a Corbin seat from the 80's.
 
R2R, does that seat cover fit a G or GL?

He lists it for '82 - '83 GS850G and 1100G, but you have an '82 GL, and I've noticed that many eBay sellers don't know the difference.


If it's not for a G, he's located in Harrisburg, IL -- might be a nice little road trip this summer, visit Mom in Southern Indiana...

I intentionally purchased a G seat cover, as I am shaving down my foam to more closely resemble a G seat.

Thanks for the clarification!

I ordered one for my G, and I'll report back when I get it.

I replaced the seat cover on my '83 GS850G eleven years ago with one from motorcycleseatcovers.com (which cost nearly $100 with shipping), and I have never been 100% happy with it -- they used a basketweave pattern material that looked great, but turned out to be perforated. Totally inappropriate stuff for a motorcycle seat unless you never ride outdoors.

Anyway, it's starting to crack along the perforations (shocking, eh?) and so this popped up just in time.

Here's the seat foam before the cover went back on -- I added an insert made from Sargent's SuperCell foam, then re-sculpted it back to the original shape. I don't think you can still get this foam from Sargent. The seat is still very comfortable, but the cover is cracking. Crikey, this was back when we still had carpet in the living room...

Just for reference, here's the original factory seat cover. The aftermarket ones look totally different, but I'm not at all bothered by that.
