Speedmaster Something For Nudger Part Two

Just before Christmas myself and Lisa went to look at getting the new speed master .
Lisa did not like the seat and the same thing happened to us oh we do a comfort seat . so I said do you call the seat you're got on the uncomfortably seat .(NO Answer back )

This is the seat I’m fitting to NUDGER

Trying to find a way to secure it
I will find a way
Cost £30
This is the back rest I’ve ordered
It’s not here yet
But once I’ve sorted the seat I can make a start on the fabrication of the sissy bar ready for when it gets here
Should arrive 5th February
Cost £15

 

At last I’ve made some progress
Using the bolt holes that the original fanny pad uses I’ve attached two rubber feet from a stihl saw
The holes are a perfect fit for the head of a 8mm Allen head bolt
Gonna drill and tap the bar to take the Allen bolts and cut and grind it to size
Then it’ll be attached to the under side of the new seat and that’s the position sorted the front seat locator has been removed and swapped for this rubber mount it has a metal sleeve in the middle so it’s locked in place
I’ve attached a type of bungee on the underneath of the seat and it locks the seat up against the back of the riders seat the locators will stop it pulling in too hard

 

Coming on nicely there, I take it the company stihl saw is now minus two rubber feet.

 

That’ll do nicely

 

Agree - Them rubbers will never rust

 

Well that went well
Some minor adjustments and some rubber pads fixed on with double sided tape and that’s it a pillion seat for £35

 

Nice one,well done Dilli !!

 

Looking really good is that Dilli. I reakon you could patent that as there will be many speedmaster riders who carry a pillion who will be interested......

Using this as a guide/template to start making the backrest/sissy bar
Can’t use it on NUDGER as the holes don’t line up

 

Two bits of angle iron cut oversize for the time being

 

Got the template done...lots of cutting/grinding and filing to do

 

"Sissy bar"....... That really should be renamed!

 

So far so good

 

The backrest arrived just before I left work

 

Brought the side rails home and put them on NUDGER
Got two holes to drill and some welding and grinding to do then I can start on making the backrest support

 

Hi Dilli are you going to get the frame chromed?

 

Would imagine its going to be powder coated BLACK

 

Picking some bits up tonight from the powder coater for my mates Rocket 3
Apparently you can get powder coating that looks almost like chrome
So gonna ask while I’m there
If not I’ll probably just paint it as it’s not that important to me as I’ll probably only be using it a few times
Taking my mate Frank to a couple of rallies and hopefully get to the Isle of Man later in the year with WOR LASS

 

That’s them done
