Hello,

I've been a member here for a little while but forgot to post to say hi to everyone. I bought a 1000f from a guy at work and it was kinda beat so I did some reaserch on this site and got busy. I had an 86 600 and loved it so when this deal came up I jumped on it. My bike is a 1990 and the plastic was almost all missing. After searching for a bit I couldn't find anything so I bought a set from a 93. I retrofitted it to my bike and it is now almost ready to ride. Here are some before and after pics.

Very nice! I'm new here too, just bought a 900 for my first bike. You did a great job on that bike, I'm sure you can't wait to get it out on the road!!

stretch_the_apex - I live in Janesville.Az1kF - Yeah, the blue seat is what came with the bike but I plan on dying it black when I get the chance.Thanks for all the great comments! I do have a bunch of 90-91 parts left over from the swap if you know of anyone looking. Mostly body parts and things of that nature. I see I can't post anything for sale yet until I get to a senoir member.

It may be better to just buy a used black seat on fleabay and then try and sell your blue one. Or get a new cover. I'm not sure how dying it would work... or if it would even be worth it.
Stock seats usually go pretty cheap.
Just a thought.
