HPN tank and single seat

[brassmonkey001]

I finally managed to get a subframe on my R100GS para but now I can't get the single seat to line up with the catch, it's quite a way off.
I tried moving the tank to give a little bit more clearance and adjusting the seat lock and peg but it still doesn't look anywhere near and now I've broken the bloody lock by trying to force it.
I've ordered a replacement lock from Motobins, but does anyone have any suggestions or tips? Is there some particular modification needed when fitting a HPN tank?

I seem to remember Terry Ryans Paralever 80 had had the front nose of the seat broken to allow it to fit the tank.

Failing that you need to buy a Touratech seat made for the HPN tank

I dont think there is much you can do about the tank as it fits onto the bibbins on the frame at the front and the bracket at the rear which does not seem to have much room for sdjustment. Mine has a touratech seat unit fitted which slides straight on. Dont know about the single seat with rack though, must be adjustment needed there.

HOW MUCH!

I'd better get my best modifying hammer out I think.

Hi

I have a 1993 paralever GS with HPN tank and single seat. To get the single (or dual) seat to fit, you need to tease back and undo the seat covering at the front lower corners and cut back "triangles" from the plastic where it fouls the tank. Then just fold back the cover and re-glue.

Cheers

Nice one Sean
I was going make some adjustments at the catch end.
