Re: GL 1200 cafe (Te Racer) projekt.
Problems problems. About two weeks ago i did bring my seatpan to upholsterer and we had good chat how i want to saddle look like and when i can get it. Now this guy is disappeared. ??? Now answer on phone or e mail. I did some detective job on the internet and now i know where he lives. I am planning to go see if he is there.

Looks like you found the upholsterer, or is that a different saddle?

Re: GL 1200 cafe (Te Racer) projekt.
Just think of that wiring as a video game, get it wrong and something blows up! Or maybe catches on fire! Just (sort of) kidding. Take your time and study the large format wiring diagrams and "all will be made clear". I like the seat.
