Gap between Seat and Tank.

[delpel]

Just fitting all the body work to my rebuild project. Check out the pics.

However, I can't get the seat to fit properly so I suspect something is bent.
I have put a photo on for you to judge for your self, what do you reckon?

Looks just about the same, or maybe even less of a gap that mine Delpel.

mine's like that too, it's shite. bmw should be ashamed

you're missing the gash bit of foam strip that bmw put on to take up a bit of the gap though.

Cookie, the bit of foam is there. I cut it off the old bashed up tank and stuck it on my lovely new silver painted tank with Bostik.

Is the seat on the high setting? There's always a bigger gap than when it's on low.

It's to stop water running straight down the tank, and collecting on your air filter cover/diagnostic plug
