Picked an Onda seat unit up today for 25 hole English pounds at the auto jumble. I quit like the look of this one it goes with the huge Spondon tank. Would like to try a 500 Gamma seat unit on it for looks but I'm not paying £145 to get o e of the bay of e just for a mock up O.oIMG_20220702_151915.thumb.jpg.b0cbbb46285864c8638e4e8a2825920f.jpg IMG_20220702_153244.thumb.jpg.0f2d9d3930aa6908196fa38275298259.jpg IMG_20220702_153252.thumb.jpg.70ab198a36ca12087726e94c9b119f18.jpg IMG_20220702_153456.thumb.jpg.ab8499edb27f86405ab977a36d8d3030.jpg

So I've decided to use the rgv seat unit (genuine one). Got a front seat for it and the back section for the ligh but it's got a brocken lug which I will attempt to repair with Havoc's potion. Fiberglass rgv seat unit that was on when I got it only had 14 1/2 inch foot peg to seat height which is to cramped for my spindly long legs with bad knees. Wanting more leg room I've lifted the back of the tank about 1 1/2 inch. This afternoon I made a plate up that clamps to the existing subframe and hold the back of the seat lifting it 2 1/2 inch higher than the seat pad on the original, this gives me 17 inch of leg room which should be alright for me. Did consider moving the foot pegs but that would have meant chopping up the Spondon hangers or making new ones. Don't really want to start chopping this frame up. Feels like a good riding position which is important to me (y)IMG_20221127_134502.thumb.jpg.a077ab396f118d20138ea27359adbe4a.jpg IMG_20221127_150144.thumb.jpg.903dfff23d01d8bc00fdfd759ff1e88c.jpg IMG_20221127_151535.thumb.jpg.61c862379912d7fb6f6bae33507bf949.jpg IMG_20221127_153701.thumb.jpg.fd63abb0651b495d0f958b434eda4dbe.jpg IMG_20221127_153731.thumb.jpg.092c4bd45b7b2e3ad90127ac0d5318ff.jpg IMG_20221127_154059.thumb.jpg.db1134ecd92c440689d33db3ebdc12b1.jpg IMG_20221127_154247.thumb.jpg.89407cf22fde36f1a7b197faa956489c.jpg IMG_20221127_154305.thumb.jpg.6e8d75cafa997c71142ee82c211f9e62.jpg IMG_20221127_154318.thumb.jpg.5d2376de125218c6885dc4d6b3c08546.jpg IMG_20221127_154247.thumb.jpg.89407cf22fde36f1a7b197faa956489c.jpg

Set about fastening the back of the tank to the frame as it does not fit after lifting the back up a bit. Moving the tank backwards a little bit to help with the steering lock as well. Got a chunk of aluminium and drilled a couple of holes in it. IMG_20221128_181655.thumb.jpg.0514b30280deb1b993d7ea93910fd46c.jpg IMG_20221128_181806.thumb.jpg.8f3ca09851f4044ea3d60a8675cac90e.jpg IMG_20221128_181856.thumb.jpg.4ab2ef6221e58a2b05078ace9e5c0712.jpg
