What Lies Beneath...

But putting on the bike, I'm not 100% I've got it right??? I have adjustment enough to raise the front by maybe 1"... but it's really hard to tell what I need to do when it's pitch black and drizzly outside or there's not enough room in my bike garage to step back a few feet and really consider it??? Maybe if I got a black leather cylinder tool bag and hung it from the back of the seat, it may even it up?

 

Summat like this maybe?

 

Mock up of tool roll position... nicked my sons wash bag!

Not happy with the rear light cluster now... hmm!

 

Yeah I think that looks better than having a gap between the seat and rear carrier mate
You've done a good job mate

 

Just been shower dodging and had a scoot about. The seat is ok, but needs less rake on it... so will drop the rear end a little, then see if I still need a tool roll

 

Its a good clean mod. Live with it a while.

 

A suggestion may be to drop the rear of the seat an inch or so and fit a fibreglass vertical'ish' skirt' from the seat to the horizontal black plate.
Then raise the rack to be more in line with the seat creating an under rack store area.

 

Slightly regretting the attemted "bafflectomy" ATM... the video shows the central tube of the outer casing sliding out in one piece with the words "this bit may need a little patience!!!

I think someone's been practicing their under-statements!

 

What a barstool of a job that was... gonna need a shitload of tidying up, wish I'd bought a dremmel

 

After much fooking about to get the best seat position for riding verses available attachment points, avoiding any frame interference etc. etc. I finally have finished the single seat conversion. To swap between single and dual seat, you just undo the 2 big screws at the back, slide one unit off then slide the other one on. Very happy with the result, but I know all the issues now, so if I did it again, it would be neater. Also happy with the bafflectomy too... will upload a vid when I suss out how!

 

Try this linky...

 

Next part of the project will be to tidy up the rear light / numberplate cluster

 

Hmmm!...it's alright I suppose.....bit quiet though

Nah mate....only kidding
Well done....I've been watching this thread with interest...you've done a good job

 

Anyone care to speculate what my next, latest and greatest invention is???

 

Anything to do with the rear wheel cush drive ?

 

Nice guess, but no! The prize for the first accurate guess is now 5 Triumph hero points (non-transferable)

 

Nope... prize value raises to 7.5 Triumph hero points!

 

Spacers for the panniers.
Fastened to the chrome pannier rack.

 

Again, very creative but nope! Prize Value is up to 10 Triumph Hero points and I'll give y'all one more guess before he big reveal.

 

You are going to fasten one at each end of the tool roll.
