Hi Folks.

Not sure if this has been mentioned before but if your sick of undoing the 10mm nuts to get your front seat off. Aprilia Mille seat pins fit fine & are Quick release with an R clip. I had to make a petrol pipe spacer for the Mille ones.

So I made my own pair easy enough by cutting the top off a 30 mm bolt, I used stainless again by God, take my life in my hands I do. Secure this with a 10mm nut when you have it at the correct length to fit through your seat, Take it out, drill a hole in it to fit an & R clip, put a washer on & fit the R clip. Hey presto Qr seat pins. Obviously take time to file etc to make it as neat as you want. You can also put a flat on the bolt as it makes drilling easier & you can see where the R pin fits better when you're fumbling under the seat flap.

Thanks folks.

Works a treat doesn't it? Had a feeling it had been done, sorry to go over old ground.

It's easier to get the 3mm shocker adjust that way for me, it's the only thing though.

It's great to have quick access to it though ha ha.
