You can get the seat re-worked on R models to gain an extra inch of leg room - Joe (littlebutquick) did this when he got his CR (same seat), he recently tried to sell his seat on Ebay -

You could try contacting him through Ebay - I don't think he comes on here any more ...


As I said earlier in the thread.

It is a Firebolt.....

It has all the plush seat accomodation of a drag racer! :mrgreen:

If I am looking at that right, won't that increase the ride height?

OK, Thanks.

It is very steep price for a sliver of machined alloy though! :shock: :shock:

I may look at making my own, if it comes to that.

I will have to look & measure a few items. ;)

yes well when you way up the time to make the measurements, design it and turn the item up. £50 odd seems reasonable to me, especially when the local engineering works to me charge £40 an hour, will you take the shock of to measure up refit it then take it of to fit the item seems a lot of time and work and a loss of the use of the bike surely . it is interesting are you an engineer by trade
