Now that's made my day Woohoo :dance2:

Started to fit up the race seat unit

Can't get it any higher or more angled with the standard sub frame and I can't be arsed making a new one this winter .
I want it to be quick release so I'm thinking about chopping up a tatty old seat base and using that attached to the inside of the race seat . This should still keep it light but strong too .

I also want it to be quick and easy to swap back to road fairings and not worry about relocating the electrics so I plan on mounting them all on the inside of the sub frame in a little box out the way

looking good mate, that's about the same angle as my setup. Don't forget you'll have 20 - 30mm of stiff foam pad on top which will raise your ass a bit.

I think it's possible to go TOO high with the seat and you loose that connection with the bike.

It must be going well if you have had to fit a wheelie bar.

There is that I still want to be "sat in the bike" and not on it .
At the moment the seat pan is 15mm lower than a standard seat so if I use 30mm seAt foam it should be better and I'll have to lean it more before I get my knee down

He doesn't need any seat padding. He has it built in

Rode it.... Parked it.... Then it didn't start... Charged the battery... Checked the starter..
Got a bus... With tears in my eyes.. 3 days of vtr ownership and already making me wonder should I have got a blade?!?!? Remind me of why I love big twins

I was thinking that it looks a bit big but it should look smaller when he sits on it. Is that made for the Storm Lloyd.

Remind me of why I love big twins..

New bike ownership niggles to sort out, that's all. You would have that with any bike.

Check the starter motor cable connection for corrosion and here's a link for checking over the charging system.

Alright then, just a lot bigger than mine

Your bars are still seriously high compared to mine :shock:

Any lower and my hands get trapped with the fairing .
They are low enough for me anyway

Alright then, just a lot bigger than mine

Well that's not difficult. Stick you and Lloyd together and it like the little and large show

Yep
