nlovien Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 yi want to try an Acrapovic ?, I can't get my one to fit around the frame - its the same as this one 1 Quote Link to comment
fatblokeonbandit Posted May 17, 2017 Author Share Posted May 17, 2017 I would love to matey, but unfortunately the budget for this project is about 3 quid! if you let me know how much, if you are considering selling, then when I flog the arrows ill see if I can afford it. Im sure if the old 4-1 ive got goes on then a akrapovic will go as well Quote Link to comment
fatblokeonbandit Posted May 21, 2017 Author Share Posted May 21, 2017 (edited) Right been busy with real life stuff, weddings, old people, decorating you all know the routine, anyway got a couple of hours.. tried a few different cans i found inj the garage, had a look to see if the tank will shine up and fitted the coils. still not sure about the seat but as no money it will have to stay i think??

vizman Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 get a harris rotax seat unit on it. 1 Quote Link to comment
SiBag Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 I quite like the seat, but I'd either cut it to follow the frame rails, or extend it to the vertical rails. Quote Link to comment
Madb Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 just don't look right. kinda looks back end heavy. (no pun intended) maybe different paint/graphics? Quote Link to comment
nlovien Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 heading in a better direction but the size really doesn't work - you want the back of the seat fwd of the rear wheel, go take a look at Neate Racings Harris endurance bike, the seat they use would look good ( - also i've got this one you could try - if you want some key dimensions of it ?

fatblokeonbandit Posted May 22, 2017 Author Share Posted May 22, 2017 cheers for the pictures, all good ideas, the pic of mine is just a photo shop thing not real, im concentrating on the important bits first, bodywork later, Quote Link to comment
bluedog59 Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 (edited) I think the TZ350f seat is a similar shape to the one you have, only smaller. Have you thought about an old style ali hump ? Edited May 22, 2017 by bluedog59 Typo. Doh ! Quote Link to comment
Fazz711 Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 Plus one on the Harris rotax. This is one i am using on my slab 1 Quote Link to comment
fatblokeonbandit Posted May 29, 2017 Author Share Posted May 29, 2017 set the angle of the swinger and tried another seat unit whilst im waiting for some bits, so i can try the engine and all the lectrics.. then got another system to try as well, but its pissing down here so i think ill lie on the sofa instead 3 Quote Link to comment
SiBag Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 That works suprisinly well.. Quote Link to comment
markfoggy Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 Just goes to show what a big old unit a W is, I'm liking that, 50 mm lower for the win. Quote Link to comment
fatblokeonbandit Posted May 29, 2017 Author Share Posted May 29, 2017 teh seats actually a 750 m, the 'arris is tiny, i need to get a seat pad before i start any chopping the subframe about... 1 Quote Link to comment
gsx Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 Seats loads better , me likey Quote Link to comment
caferacerdan Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 that seat unit looks spot on! Quote Link to comment
Dezza Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 A Harris F1 seat will probably look right as it's a Harris F1 frame but may not suit bars other than clip ons. Quote Link to comment
fatblokeonbandit Posted May 30, 2017 Author Share Posted May 30, 2017 was thinking of something like this Quote Link to comment
nlovien Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 the top seat is what I've used - its just the right thing for these things - gives you the xr69 look - you can obviously see the slightly moded version on my project page - they come in long and short style from ragged edge racing - gets a on this selection Quote Link to comment

It would have been obvious if someone hadn't so helpfully deleted the pictures I had uploaded. I think Ragged Edge Racing also do them in the UK. JUst read the previous post and yes, RER do a whole load of decent bodywork for older bikes. Edited May 30, 2017 by Dezza Quote Link to comment
