Misc: Everything Else Seat cover

[bmetcalf]

This shows the pop rivets used for my large seat:

Still on there. Foam and cover from a unit Triumph seat on a flat base which just sits on the rear cowl. The foam is longer than the seat cutaway and is fully supported by the rear hump. I have heard D passengers complain about the base of their spines being bruised by the front of the hump.

When fitting the longer seat,
Did somebody say , You have to turn the lifting handle / Mud guard stay, The other way round ?,
And re weld the chain guard fitting ?.

The spares Co. don't supply the Feridax badge as a single item, does anyone know of a source in the UK ? , I've drawn a blank

This is another BIG seat, Just came up on the photos across the top of the screen,
On this Forum, Owner Roger Lord, I think he has packed up riding now ?,
But his Dad Norman Lord , On this Forum , May tell you something about it.

I have fitted 2 long seats on Rapides, was no need to change any of the mounting bracketry

 

[Bill Thomas]

Thanks Robert , It must be if you have a fully floating seat ?.

 

[Robert Watson]

I don't think so Bill, the mounting points are in the same place on either seat, I think the longer one just sticks out the back further. If you have some carrier rack arrangement that fits closely up to the back of a standard seat, then yes, that would need to be modified.

My Rapide is fully floating with an AVO mono-shock. The lifting handle hit the rear of the long seat so I turned the lifting handle over and welded on a new lug for the chainguard fixing.
If you have standard suspension maybe you don't have this problem.
