Hello Coldsummer yes I dont want to cut this tailpeice about as they are quite rare now, so i have decided to stick with the original tail peice and move it forward 80mm and fabricate a matching seat base.

Hi Steve

UNATEC Make the Z butts.

and this guy is selling them on ebay with or without pads (I'm assuming they are connected to Unatec)

and this guy has one at Â£45

If you like that sort of thing :lol:

I think moving the original forward is the way to go personally.

Thank you Gus, I didnt know they where still available, think I will stick with the original now, have started working on a replacement seat base

Little bit of progress this week, decided to tackle the seat base now I am happy with the tail peice location. Want somthing smaller than the standard large seat as no pillions required but want something less makeshift than the foam covered race seat unit.

Very neatly done that seat base, like it.

Simon, I'll sort those forks sorted out asap, I promise. :oops:

Seat base looks good. :up

Rearsets nearly finished and started on the handle bar set up, going to have clip on style bars but still be high and wide

Have ordered some countersunk 10mm stainless screws so the footrest plates are flush, brake pedal side is also nearly finished

Next job is to fit the battery box
