[QUOTE="b'knighted, post: 101901, member: 59"] I have an open D seat frame converted to fit Comet dimensions, it also has a Craven carrier welded into the back. It appears to have some angles changed and some tubes lengthened but i don’t know how much was to enable fitting and how much was to facilitate the carrier clearance (with Thornton coilover rear). Brian’s Victor uses a D UFM so would present different problems. The D seat hinge mounts on the rear tank mount bolts, the rear cowl pivots on a tube a little behind this. If the Comet UFM seat mount is not in the correct position to pivot the cowl it could carry a bracket with spigots for the cowl to pivot on. These brackets may need bracing to the sidecar mounting hole. Similarly if you have a standard twin rear cowl and don’t want to alter its frame (which I’m sure will be too wide at the swinging arm pivot) you could fit studs on brackets from the pillion plates, if need be to locate with new tubes bolted into the tapped lugs inside the cowl.
