Rolling chassis is looking great those brakes should be fantaaaastic!

How much longer is the swinging arm than standard, as it looks very long.


I have one of those mk1 dual seat units and they are so 70's but just dont look right in todays world ?

The zed butt looks better but I think a 1000/900 would look better still as its that bit longer,

Other options
Harris F1 SEAT

h2r kr style seat.
Image

GSXR Slabby seat from ragged edge

Image

Personally I think the F1 seats suite them the best!

looking good piglet, have to agree with others about the seat tho, too big. Is it possible to cut it down a bit?

Thanx for the input chaps - much appreciated :!:

Phil - I like the Harris F1 seat.......

Rob - Not overly keen on the KR1000 unit......

Got a few weeks to have a think about it, then hope to send stuff off to Simon :wink:

BRAKES: them things feel well VIOLENT just wheeling the bike about - should be able to perform stoppies at will (or by mistake more likely :shock: )

Just need to sort out a decent method of fitting the seat unit - so it's easy to get on & off

Nothing stopping me sorting out the engine now :twisted:

Got the seat unit sorted - made a base with some alloy plate then stuck it together with a few 6mm bolts & some P38.

Made a real SIMPLE, LIGHT & EASY method of removing it..... I used a bucket handle :shock: as the wire is some sort of spring steel, and it passes thru' the seat-base alloy into some lugs on the seat rail.... and is a "spring-fit" !!!! The nose has a tang that fits under the frame, beneath the tank.

Image


Image

The wire is then clipped onto the seat nuts ...... :P

Next was the front muddy. It arrived today so I spent lunchtime (an extra long one) trimming it up and fitting it.....

Image

Image

Looking good now - ready to pack for painting .... but I'm still undecided what colours...... :??

Image

Image

The combo for TANK - SEAT - MUDDY will probably be BLACK & GREEN... but just not sure what to paint in what colour :?:
