Seat fitting issue sorted.

Post by Diabolus »

Dont know if this is a common issue but my seat has always had an annoying habit of the right hand side tucking under the lip of the tank due to the seat having about 1.5cm movment front to back causing any cover to get ripped on the corner I have finaly sorted the issue :clap:
Image
both sides got holes in the seat but the right side was worse?

Image
Image
It didnt sit evenly on the hoops/ hooks (not sure of the purpose of these?? the right hoop was persuaded back into position.

Image

So I investigated with the rear fairing removed and I could see that if some sort of stops were fitted in as per pic it would stop this anoying movement of the seat, so pilot holed and screwed some m5 nuts into position with a dabb of epoxy resin for good measure.

Image
Image
Once the seat is slid and locked into position the nuts stop any movement and seat is tighter against the tank. :D

Flip them out, refit seat and you have somewhere to attach bungees to. :wink:

Looking forward to seeing you newly covered seat.
