I have a batch to take original bodywork and battery tray etc.They were a bit of a flop,I had to get 6 made so I could have one for my own bike. I would like to see that with the seat squab in place.A batch to take another seat unit wouldnt be a problem,that one looks OK.We were thinking of moving the seat pad back about 2 inches as Dan and another mate who helps me thought it a bit cramped.If you look at pics of him on it he cant get tucked in properly.Open to ideas on this one.I wouldnt mind shifting the other ones at a loss to help finance it.

I think the best one ive ever seen are the ones on forum member Yeurmans race bike, its a cbr600 tail with a custom made sub frame. Will try and find the link to the pics.

I would certainly be happy moving back an inch or two. That rear end on Col's bike looks perfect, top job that is.
If you can knock one of those out as is with an aly sub frame you can DEFINATELY count me in for one, possibly 2 so I've a spare.

From what others have tried I think the 03 CBR600RR works well. But really it's a case of seeing what you fancy. The 2010 Blade single seat is tiny and looks delicious. What it would look like on the 29 or how easy it would be to fit is another story.
If you get one mocked up you can always post it up for advance orders, and of course the post prototype critique!!


Just so we're clear Carl, I want it for the race bike, so no electrics/lights for me.

I have the 03 on mine, AnR brand. Its the 2 piece jobbie, but doesnt really need it. I think the single one would be more solid. Fitted to a cut down standard frame too, well after a bit of drimmel work lol. Must say it looks a little low on mine at the back, so a sub frame that was a little higher would be better.
