R80/7 seats

[Northern Monkey]

Is this seat an original seat ?? It looks like it's badly fitted and rattles a bit and the gap to the back of the tank seems quite big??

Cheers

I doubt it. I also think they had a chrome grab rail fitted to the seat. Is it an ex police bike?

 

[Northern Monkey]

I'm not sure the bloke I bought it off seemed to recall it may have been ex police but he inherited when the original owner passed so I don't rightly know . I've seen the chrome rails at Motorworks - it needs something to break up the huge backside!

Chrome grab rail missing.

Hey - sod that, someones nicked the entire exhaust!

Hopefully no one will spot there's no front brakes either!!

Looks aftermarket to me, you can maybe bring it closer to the tank a bit by adjusting where the hinges mount.

Very nice looking bike by the way

I didn't want to mention the lack of fuel taps or choke cable.....bit like the old 'spot the ball' isn't it ?

It looks very much like a after market seat to me.
has it got a metal or a fibre glass seat base? There isn't much if any adjustment via the hinges to,loose that gap.

Fibreglass base

My 100/7 has one of those fitted. They're useless. Motobins were selling them years ago. They have mounting points for the grab rail glued to the base, unfortunately they're pieces of wood. If they haven't rotted away by now then the chances are the screws will no longer screw in. You wouldn't trust a passenger hanging onto the grab rail if it did attach.

The only option for a genuine style seat is an oem but they're over £400

Ouch!!!! There was me thinking the end was in sight!!!! Ah well , I'll keep saving...... cheers

Good luck with getting that to fit. Though they may have changed the design. I bought one last year from Motobins but it had to go back because they designs wrong

 

[Northern Monkey]

Come on, give me some good news! guess I'll have to start saving
