Hi
Can anyone recommend a place (or person) that can re-upholster my seat?
In southern Ontario
Looking to make it more comfortable on longer rides.
Foam is too stiff and it's angle is slightly off for my comfort.
Thanks in advance.
I read there is an ATV gel seat from Walmart for like $20 that will fit perfectly under the upholstery.
as for new covering, its quite easy.
just take the old one off, measure or take it with you somewhere that sells the material you want.
maybe get a little extra in length.
wrap it around and just staple it in underneath.
I have yet to find that gel seat!

Do you mean
this??? (http://www.walmart.com/ip/Stearns-Black-ATV-Seat-Cover/10727537)
or this??? (http://www.walmart.com/ip/Drive-Medical-Premium-Guard-Gel-E-Seat-Cushion/12546593)
Not liking those ideas.
Corbin is only for 2000 and older GS500's (http://www.corbin.com/suzuki/gs500e.shtml)
Russel has some nice seats (http://www.day-long.com/gallery_Sports_Bikes.html)... but nothing for the GS
Baldwin has nice stuff too. (http://www.motorbikesaddles.com/images/Saddle%20Photos/Suzuki%20V-Strom%20DL1000/Suzuki%20V-Strom%20DL1000%20Custom%20Seat%20Photo%204%20By%20Baldwin%20Motorbike%20Saddles.jpg).. but nothing for the GS
Here are some seats (http://www.topsellerie.com/en-ca/SUZUKI-GS-500-seats-petrol-tank-covers-tank-bags-motorbike_7_156.html)...but they are across the pond
GS500 wiki is weak on the subject (http://cgi.stanford.edu/~sanjayd/gs500/Upgrades/Seats)
I've only read it and seen others post about it.
never looked it up myself yet tho.
If you are looking for someone to make you a custom seat send a PM to Jared. He did a gel seat for my SV650 and my '01 GS :thumb:

I have the Corbin Gunfighter (http://www.corbin.com/suzuki/gs500e.shtml) on my 1994 and love it.

that corbin looks sweet. I'm almost 6' and tired of my gs bashing my balls, that looks decent. id really like a lower height with rearsets moved back.
