    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.

Seat Mystery

Thanks, this has bugged me for years, sooo i'll put the boots to it, this weekend.
:D

Let us know how you get on. As my seat kicks up at the back as well and I may need to do the same thing if it works for you.
 
The seat pan is bent up in the back if the pads are not even touching but everything else line ups. this is very common on seats on older suzukis with the grabrail on the back as people pull on it to get the bike upon the center stand. Someone else posted to put it on the ground and gently bend the seat back down. I have done this on two of my suzuki gs 1000 seats and one of my friends gs 850 seat. Just be careful not scuff up the grab rail..Igt akes severla tries and some patience, but it does work

Excellent! Mine looks like that too. Looking at the side view of the red 850 and the taper between the top of the side cover and the seat trim, I can believe that is the situation there too.

Just finished, huge difference in the fit. :)
I maybe have between 1/16th" to 1/8th" gap now, closer in some area's.
My seat is by no means perfect, so i'm really happy with how much closer
it now fits, i will try to post up a pic tomorrow if i can find the charger for the cam.
Once again the GSR comes through. :)
