    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.

    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.

I needed my seat redone 0n my GS1000S. Robert Renz in Tulsa Ok was recomended to me by a friend who used him on auto restorations, He researched the original condition and redid my seat as close to perfect as I have seen. The info is:

How about some photos?

I had a local shop try to replicate the seat cover on my 1980 1000S and they did a pretty good job but it's not perfect; the vinyl pattern is off a little and the stitching looks ever so slightly different from stock. I'm not complaining but would be interested in finding a shop that specializes in exact replication.

Heres apic of mine. C-creations here in Celina where I live does excellent work and hes very reasonable on price. He did mine for $95 material and labor. hes done all my seat work over the years and he does alot of work for others and is very realiable.

I like that seat on that 650. Looks like you had him level the driver sitting area so it's not leaning backwards so much. I bet that's a help.
 
I have a fiberglass airplane dash cover upholstered at El Reno at the airport.....
stitching looks ever so slightly different
.....he does a double (baseball) stitch like Nessism has on his seat but the stitches are not as near as straight. Im not crazy about the pattern on your S seat Ed, but the workmanship looks very nice.
 
Thanks ddanials on my seat. When I redone it I cleaned up the pan I just wired brushed it all down and repainted it. The metal was in excellent shape. The foam was in perfect shape on it. I had the guy at CCreations shave the foam in the back where my butt sits to a more up and down shape like a mini touring seat and I had him shave the sides where my inner thighs touch the seat to a 45 degree angles so they wouldn't rub so much and he put an extra layer of foam down the center. It rides fantastic now. I did a 420 mile ride on it and no numbness whatso ever. He did a super job on recovering it all for $95.
