New seat soon Courtesy of Tony Archer
« on: May 13, 2016, 16:31:00 »
Massive thanks to Tallpaul for taking my spare seat (purchased from User650) collecting it from him and dropping it off at Tony Archer for me.
Hopefully I'll be riding on a comfy seat very soon.

It's about time. I'm not sure you need one, it's not as though you ever travel any further than the confines of the M25 is it? :)

Did you pay User650 in chipshop gift vouchers?

 lol
I know ... perhaps I should attend more ride outs to put some mileage on the bike.

Apparently the agreement with user650 is that I must go to Whitby for Fish and chips every weekend with him for the next ten years so he can stamp his card  :)

Did someone mention fish and chips?

No worries about the seat, mate! Always happy to help.

Has he removed the slope that inexorably pushes the plums into the tank after a few hours?

Nope. But it was built in California.

How much £80 still? Is the pillion seat smaller? I might get mine sent in while I'm in Italy

It was £80 (Bargain) .... The pillion seat is smaller which is what I requested, it allows me to shift back a bit to straighten my legs.

That looks the business. Enjoy.

We're all craftsmen in Yorkshire it seems.
