Question

How do you have that skin attached to your seat, Trevor? Anything special? I'm replacing the sheepskin seat covers in my car and thinking of fabbing the perfect passenger one onto my S's seat...ala, fastfrank's rig.
.
Thanks.

As a general rule of thumb, resize your image to 640x480 or 480x640. We here on the internet don't really need to see anything larger than that.

Trevor, is that a dead wombat draped over your seat?

I will try resizing my pics and see how that goes. Thanks for your help.

On the upload 'window' it did say that size and dimensions were not important - maybe they are.

The only thing keep the sheep skin on the seat is friction and gravity. The only time I have a problem is when we get off the bike and it is a little windy and the cover falls to the ground. That is when I say "I should do something about that soon!!' It has been like that for years. I have been thinking of sewing two lengths of wide elastic to the cover so that it attaches to the seat. Should be real easy to do

Actually, one minor problem that does occur with the S, is that the under seat exhaust leaves bad smelling fumes at the rear of the sheep skin. Sometimes have to leave the skin on the bike. The rear bag also picks up the exhaust fumes.

Cheers
TREVOR

Rapid,

that was my initial reason for the upload test. The picture resolution was 2304 x 1728 and I wanted to see how it turns out. The JPG file was approximately 1,5Mb.

And as Skippy already noted, it worked!

It seems there really is no limit in file size. When you upload a file it says: "You may include an image in your BB post. NEW: It may be any size or dimension."

Here's another one:

2304 x 1728 / 24-bit true color (11 664kb)

Passo di Rombo / Timmelsjoch (July 3. 2004)



Yes, the first one was a 1 577KB jpg-file.

Not true though. It doesn't always work correctly and reverts to the old error.
