    Searching for welding/fabrication in DC/MVA area

    Hello, I have a 86 K100 that needs a small part fabricated/welded. It is the post that the seat hardware attaches to on the right side of the frame. I'm struggling to describe it -- like a bolt basically, that sticks out parallel to the frame that the seat connects to and hinges on for...

    Convert Corbin Heated Seat connector to BMW Connector - 2007 K1200GT

    Hello. I am purchasing a used heated Corbin seat that has barrel type connectors. I was wondering if anyone knows of a repair cable so I can convert the Corbin seat connector into the BMW Connector to plug right into the existing plug on the bike. I am sure I could spice in a couple of barrel...

    Getting scuff marks off of vinyl motorcycle seats

    Hey Guys, Here is a link to a video I just posted on a way to get scuff marks off the seats. It doesn't requires no chemicals. I've tried a lot of things but this actually works. Below is the link: http://youtu.be/HpCDl01HECQ

    Connection from Corbin Canyon Seat to R1150 Fuse Panel

    I need the fused wiring connector from a Corbin Canyon heated seat to the fuse panel of my BMW R1150R. Unbelievably, Corbin does not sell this part separately. Attached is are pics of the connector on the seat which is probably the same for all R1150 series bikes. I'm posting this on the chance...

    Need some boots that add an inch or two to my height

    I just upgraded from an F800st to a new 2013 R1200GS. Even with the low suspension and low seat height, my feet still don't touch the ground all the way. I'm not on my tippy toes, I can get both balls of my feet on the ground. But would like a little more foot to touch the ground. Was thinking...

    Sargent Seat for the F650 Twin

    I am seriously considering the "Sargent World Sport Performance" seat as a replacement to the stock seat on my 2011 F650GS. I have read numerous threads about seating choices and I understand that seats are one of those "individual fit" items. Some of the advantages I see with the Sargent: 1)...

    After Market Seat

    The time has come for my wife and I to upgrade our seats. She is acutally making a spread sheet for the task of selecting the new saddle. Looking for your experiences, thoughts and comments on what you like don't like about yours. Was the manufacturer pleasant to work with, value, comfort...

    Can I lower the seat on my '06 K1200LT?

    I have seen discussions on lowering the K1200LT seats on the earlier models. Some modify the mounting system and grind down a bit of plastic, while others dig right under the vinyl and reshape their foam. My bike has heated seats, and I'm quite leery of mods that require cutting the vinyl...

    SWB repro seat?

    So, I decided to treat myself to a new seat for my '71 /5 and called Bob's BMW about the reproduction seats pictured in their catalog, only to find that they no longer carry them. I'm not real crazy about spending $500 on a factory seat. Does anyone know of anyplace else that sells repro seats...
