Seat Help Please

Straight R65 cover, although I see no reason it wouldn't work on an LS...  Does Moto-Bins sell a "special" LS cover?

[nhmaf]

Yes, moto bins does sell a special cover - the seats are indeed a bit different
on the LS.  The rear cowling extends further, and I think this requires the
seat tohave a longer taper at the back end with a thinner end section than a
"standard" R65 seat.

Rich - did you finally get your R65LS seat cover from Moto-bins ?    Mine just showed up in the
mail today, and they had initially told me that it wouldn't ship until the end of the month.

So, I am happy - I have alot of work ahead replacing the clutch, installing rebuilt transmission,
and replacing the front brake master cylinder before I get to the seat, but at least it is here !!!!!!

Huzzah !

Royal Mail package just arrived yesterday. Off to H.F. for clamps and a rivet gun. I'll see what kinda glue the Lowes has. Only have one day off so I'll prolly just get started on my project in the unknown, Now wheres my pink haired töchter hair dryer, hmmm.

Good luck!!!  Remember you can glue foam back on and fix a right mess....so don't panic or freeze if the carving knife gets out of control!   For all short riders out there...you can put the old cut off foam in the heel of your boots for a little "lift".

   Now that's a suggestion I like!  Too bad I didn't think about that 15 years ago when I did my seat...

Rich, I once recovered a seat - but I just put the new cover on top of the old one.  I used a strong staple gun, I think that's what upholsterers use?

Anyway, just to thank you for the offer of a place to kip in Pheonix - very kind.  I only just saw it, however, and am catching a plane to NZ tonight from LAX.  Bike's on a boat to Australia.  

Anyway, same offer to you if you should ever find yourself in Scotland.
