I want that huge monstrosity for 2-up distance rides with Jill. I want the other seat for the regular commute and short stuff.What if you cut down the foam on the one you have and find a decent upholstery guy?

That's the plan. the GL1100 monstrocity will be used for 2-up and long rides. The other will be for the day to day shorter stuff. 2 bolts is pretty easy to swap them out when I want/need to.keep the stock seat for long distance trips past the store you will need it
kool. I'll look for a set of those.you can buy wing nut bolts for the seat
i have a set on my gl cafe just for that
OK, when I first put the dyna in and installed the coils I screwed up the plug wires and had 2 wrong, could that have caused this? I ran the bike for 5 mins before I realized what was going on. Hard to believe the carbon would have stayed through 2-3000 miles and 10+ tanks of gas but maybe. The bike ran beautiful for weeks until the rich condition hit all of a sudden and it would only run WOT and when not WOT you can smell gas and the plenum was wet with it whenever I looked in it.that is not from being rich its from blow by or reversion and burning in the carb somehow
there should be no way for the "rich" exhaust gas to get to the carb
im more familiar with this in the cx but it happens in them from flame spitting back thru the carbs from
the cylinders (reversion) at certain rpm/overlap conditions
