    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.

Is there such a thing as an aftermarket (more comfortable) seat for an 82 GS1100? 125 mile ride and my tail is sore. I checked the Corbin website but the page just kept loading with no end. Thanks in advance. I appreciate all the help.
 
I'm chuckling to myself as I'm reading your post. Only because I have the same problem and was talking to another forum member here and he told me about Chef1366 having the same problem a few years ago. I did a search and found this post.

That should help you I think. I don't know about the product but I do know several people have posted very good comments about the brand/product. :)
 
I just checked that link and there isn't one for our bikes. It also says to measure our seats and then pick one from their list thats closest to size because they do have some adjustment. For me, I'd rather have mine redone. But thanks for the info.:)
 
I've tried seat beads, sheepskin pad and an airhawk seat cushion. The airhawk is by far the most comfortable. You can adjust it and it can be transferred from bike to bike. Three hundred or four hundred mile days are not a problem.
 
Another option if your cover is in decent shape is to buy some of the Sargent Super Cell foam, cut it in and re-use your OEM cover. The foam is around 25-30 per piece as I recall. I re-did one of my seats last year and have been happy with it.

One word of caution the new material is a LOT firmer than the old saggy OEM foam so it did take about 1500 miles to get used to it. I took it on a 450 mile day right after installing it and it was not very pleasant but after a while you do get used to it and will like it.

Post # 9 shows how it looks before putting the cover back on.
