Re: seats
I have seen a number of them on various builds. They do not look comfortable to me but I have never sat on one.

Re: seats
I sat on Gords the other day, in the name of research, and I found it as hard as a rock compared to mine. To each his own I guess, and it does look great.Whiskerfish wrote:I have seen a number of them on various builds. They do not look comfortable to me but I have never sat on one.

Re: seats
I have used three of them now, this months "bike of the month" has one. It is firm but not uncomfortable (I can't say what a long trip would be like) Quality is actually quite good.
Bikes at present:
83 XL 600r with a 2004 XR650L engine
And a slightly worse for the wear BMW GS adventure bike awaiting repair
83 GL in process

Re: seats
On the seat subject, my 78 has a nice looking stock seat, but no grab strap.
Does anyone know where a person might locate a grab strap with the hardware to attach?
Thanks all,

Re: seats
Try 4 into 1 out of San Fran they are good to deal with and do sell a variety of seat straps and hardware both as a kit or the hardware as a separate item too.

Re: seats
Sandy & Flyin900,
Thanks for the links, just what I was looking for!
4into1 has some nice looking exhaust systems for the GL1000, not cheap though (but what is?)
