seat height, not sure yet, feels a bit lower but nothing radical, got to drive to w**k tomorrow so will have a better feel for it then, if you made your own none sliding rails you could probably get it 30-40mm lower max

 

pics needed!

 

they certainly are just the small problem of it's snowing atm made the journey to w**k interesting came off a roundabout completely sideways and managed to drift for a good distance, seconds before a traffic cop came round the corner


anyway! seat height, i had to tip the rear view mirror down a good way, think i'd still prefer it a bit lower but then you have trouble with the steering wheel not adjusting low enough, so maybe it's about right

 

snowing here but I assume it is not settling.. cannot see the ground.. lol

Only didn't travel by bike this morning as the battery has finally given up on it and the new one hasn't arrived yet.

don't say i never give you anything notice the personalised seat took a shot of the runners for you Graham, might give you an idea how they compare to what you've got now

 

Kev - lol

F

 

Not a stupid question but do the runners lock? Just asking because i might go down the same route if they do. Think the rules and reg's state that if the seat is mounted on runners then it needs to be lockable. Graham...?

 

lockable in what way? they act exactly like the standard seat runners

 

Infact, i think i'm off on a tangent and think of tilting seats in a classic. My mistake!

 

nice!

just the drivers?

 

just the drivers, i've had to cut my budget in half since buying the house

 

 

You need to bolt tight the seat only if you have a tilt back, ie a 911 seat that tilts to gain access to the rear.

my home brew seat runners are almost an exact replica of the Bride seat of 'Kev the Rev'

lol at the careful use of permanent black marker pen to convert Rev to Kev..

Good game.
Graham.

 

Kev:

Getting close to the magic '1000' entries!
Graham

 

it had to be done 1000? how times flies when you're having fun

 

hello kev whats this about house buying was that where you going down north parade (yes that was me flashing you from behind just before i turned down Edward St)

 

no idea where that is Matt Radbourne Gate opposite The Great Northern



and no updates to speak of, just trying to source some cheap competition wheel studs as i've never been happy with the amount of thread i was getting on the front wheel nuts after the brake conversion (and i doubt the MSA officials will be either ) also waiting on my new nuts to turn up, red nuts are defo for sale now

 

Kev see here : http://rallynuts.com/motorsport/Rall..._Fine_2338.asp

 

hopefully getting them cheaper than that, although that was the first place i looked the other night

 

Is this still going?

I told you Kev, you can't polish a turd

 

there speaks the voice of experience

 

[QUOTE=flat4]no idea where that is Matt Radbourne Gate opposite The Great Northern
