Springs and seat

[Mandres]

cool link, thanks for posting.  How does the Trico pad fit on the GS seat?  The shape seems all wrong.  I wonder if removing the seat cover and cutting out a section of the foam would allow you to mount the pad securely.  Seems like a lot of trouble though...

Also, regarding suspension: www.peterverdonedesigns.com/introduction.htm
This will help you set up your bike even better with your new springs.

Something else I was going to say was to go to the Racetech website and punch in your numbers to see what kg/mm (lb/in) springs they suggest and compare that to the .57kg/mm-.80kg/mm Progressives.

Look if anyone lives near Corbin and has a 2001 gs500 please give them your seat for 2 weeks and they will make a mold out of it so they can sell it to the rest of us with bike bottom blues! 

Um... and the reason that Corbin hasn't exploited this market segment so far, is because they can't afford to go to a junkyard or breaker and pay $50-100 for a used seat, so they've just been waiting for 5+ years now for someone to lend them one for free?

Yup that is what the Corbin rep told me. Can you believe 5+ years?

As for the front part I will give a full report after  I give it a full test this weekend.
