Wanted - your 11** seat rack in exchange for my Adv seat rack

[MikeO]

Mods please put this in FS&Wanted if you feel it's more appropriate..

I expect to be buying an 1150GS Adventure in the near future and will want to retro-fit it with the seat, rack etc from a standard GS.

I did this work on my last Adv and got the parts by finding someone with a standard GS who wanted to swap. This was a zero cost option and I would like to find someone who would want to do the same. The whole job takes about an hour, if I remember correctly & is very straightforward.

If this is of interest to anyone with a 1100 or 1150GS, please PM me.

Cheers,

Mike

Vern has a spare rack, my old one, but not sure if he has the other fittings.

I could be interested in doing this... But what about the seat. Mine is in two parts rather than a single seat. Would this still work? Maybe not? I just know i would actulally prefer the rack end of later 1150 ADV...

Let me know if I have understood correctly!

Cheers

This would involve swapping the seats, seat fittings, release catch, tool tray etc from one bike to the other, leaving you with a one piece seat and me with a 2 piece...

Mike,

I've got a complete 1150GS seat, rack etc from a standard GS - in fact you can take your pick of black or red seats

I've enjoyed your reports on the USA etc so much, & was so gutted to see you lose your bike, you can have it gratis

It's only taking up room in the garage, I keep meaning to flog it, but never get round to it.

If you want to, stick a donation in a cancer charity (lost my cousin this year, 3 months older than me ), but don't feel oblidged

Top man!

All in the garage* awaiting the appearance of a replacement Adv.

Great to meet you Jon - donation made as discussed - and I think you'll also find Paul G (BHT) has done something about extending your subscription...

Thanks again,

Mike

PS Managed to reassemble the lock mechanism first go...

In these dark days there are still people about thinking of others and not themselfs.samething happened to me a couple years ago with a tank bag for a buell. The chap sent me the bag on the understanding I made a donation to his daughters cancer care charity. I did and emailed him a copy receipt.

No greasy fingers this time then

Today I was just trying to work out how many miles you drove on Saturday

Definitely a good lap of the southern part!
